The Washington Examiner’s Christopher Tremoglie writes, “We all know that liberals, Democrats, and other left-wingers will try anything if it means imposing their radical morality and agenda on the people. They will criticize, demonize, vilify, and fearmonger to achieve their goals. Their tactics also include oppressive totalitarianism and seeking to punish those who resist and do not comply. The latest example is PayPal’s decision to fine people $2,500 who they felt were promoting ‘misinformation.’ It was to go into effect on Nov. 3.

The financial technology company quietly updated its ‘Acceptable Use Policy’ over the weekend, the Washington Examiner reported. It stated that any customer who PayPal discovered was promoting ‘misinformation’ would be penalized with ‘liquidated damages’ of $2,500. It was a move that resembled actions taken by Stalin’s Soviet Union, Castro’s Cuba, Mao’s China, Ho Chi Minh’s Vietnam, and other totalitarian, communist regimes.

Allowing private companies to become thought police would be egregious and illegal overreach.

My office will be looking into the validity of PayPal’s new policy and taking any necessary action to stop this type of corporate activism.

This meant that if Paypal discovered someone posting such radical information as ‘men cannot have babies,’ ‘men are not women,’ or ‘there are only two genders,’ they would likely be fined $2,500.

It was just the latest example of the draconian measures the Left will resort to while trying to impose their political will.”
