[QUOTE="Hypno, post: 1093050, member: 12416"] [b]RE: Paypal's crackdown against red pill and alt right sites[/b] From a legal standpoint, I think a business can choose not to do business with your for any reason unless it violates a specific law. For example, the Civil Rights Act states that you don't have the freedom to not conduct business on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The EEO Title VII has also been supplemented with legislation prohibiting pregnancy, age, and disability discrimination. So if you wanted to challenge PayPal's decision, you would have to allege something such as PayPal did this because of your religion, national origin, race, sex, etc. You are not the typical caucasian American, so you might plausibly be able to make this sort of claim, but your argument is still flimsy. You could sue them and allege they did this because of these things, but since they didn't explain why you don't have much to go on. You might be able to get to discovery, in which case you can get the actual reason. But its probably a SJW who claims you promote hate or violence. Unless you can prove they cancelled you due to your religion, national origin, etc., you probably lose. So they can basically take away your first amendment rights, because they are not a government actor. Of course, you can publicize their position and call for a boycott. They were spun off of eBay a few years ago and are now a standalone public company. However, the original founders, guys like Thiel and Musk, sold it origianlly to eBay.
