As we hurtle towards a cashless economy, PayPal's abortive censorship of the FSU is part of a global trend to weaponise Big Tech to suppress dissent of every kind, which must be opposed at all costs.
PayPal and other finance companies could be banned from blocking the accounts of campaign groups for political reasons under a new law being proposed by MPs that the Government is said to be "likely to accept".
PayPal says its mission is to "ensure everyone can take control of their financial lives” and that it believes access to financial services should be a "right for all”. So why does it keep banning people it doesn't like?
If we allow woke financial services companies to demonetise individuals and organisations whose political views they disagree with, then free speech is effectively over in the West.
