🙀 It's now dangerous to use PayPal, Venmo and Ebay...

Published: Mon, 10/10/22

Think it's ok to let your dog sleep in the same bed as you?

Have an opinion on the benefits/risks of a grain-free diet?

Believe chiropractic is healthy for animals?

Well...if PayPal (who also owns Venmo and Ebay) doesn't agree, you could be fined $2,500...or worse!

A new Paypal user policy that permits the company to fine users $2,500 for spreading “misinformation” has caused quite a stir on social media platforms. After November 3, anyone who posts or publishes information or content to “promote misinformation” will be subject to the penalty.

This article was updated to reflect that Paypal has retracted the user policy information after the social media backlash. The company said: “An AUP notice recently went out in error that included incorrect information.”

C'mon! Who is buying this garbage! We know you (PayPal) meant it, you just weren't expecting the backlash and now you're backpedaling.

Canadian lawyer David Anber wrote: “[Hey Paypal] you have 30 days to explicitly renounce this abomination of a policy or I am permanently closing my account as will millions of others I am sure. Your subjective views on ‘misinformation’ or ‘discrimination’ don’t entitle you to your clients’ money.”

PayPal has a long history of doing "not so nice things" to customers.

Paypal has been accused of censorship for a long time now and picking and choosing sides based on the firm’s own subjective valuations and of course, state orders. At the end of July last year, Paypal revealed it partnered with the nonprofit organization the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and said it planned to study financial transactions that funded extremism and anti-government groups.

Many small businesses use PayPal. If you happen to be one of them, please reconsider. Venmo, a popular payment rail, is another to reconsider.

The take-a-way and good practices:

If you still plan to use PayPal, don't leave money in your account, remove it right away. Keep in mind, they can still charge your linked bank account for fines/chargebacks and 'penalties' for violating any of their current/future rules (that they decide).

Consider my favorite payment rail (only available in the USA for now, but expanding) >>> Strike (click to get it)

Strike uses what's called the "lightning network" built atop Bitcoin's blockchain to send USD. You don't need to know anything about Bitcoin (or to buy any), your USD are converted to Bitcoin, they fly across the network, and are converted back to USD and instantly end up in your wallet. This is the future and it's coming faster than you may realize. I still wouldn't make it a habit to store your savings here, but I personally feel it's much safer than PayPal, and maybe even your bank!

Ok, that's all for now. Just thought you should know what's going on. If you've found this valuable, please consider sharing it with a colleague.

⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️ This is not investment advice, speak to a financial professional.

I sure hope I haven't left you feeling awful (or offended your beliefs), instead I hope I've given you some thoughts and ideas that might empower you to get ahead of what some believe might be happening now or around the corner.

All of us here at ChiroSimple appreciate you and what you do. Helping animals is (at least from my perspective) a gift to the world that deserves to be returned to you ten-fold - you're truly making a difference, and we love you for that.

Thanks for letting us be a part of your story,

Dr. Nevin
