Another Cory Talks Special episode. Furore recently over PayPal’s apparent attempt at policing misinformation. Today they’re come out and said, no they are not going to fine users defined as “spreading misinformation” by taking $2,500 from their PayPal accounts.

I know it sounds like a report that IS misinformation, but PayPal is claiming their new terms document that was supposed to take effect from November 3, 2022 needed an edit or two.

Here’s where I sourced the information for this short special, https://news.yahoo.com/paypal-policy-permits-company-fine-143946902.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAN4kgx3b_bNfIsZWRCxtZdl3SSBBmNcHUVfATOGkAXbCIRJD4U0Y7QnlN7XuFJEJJMTvkVtucuG6y72e10IJtu0nJWgSAMQ4amtbPNpCra2pIgAXUZn507LWBUnZ6YCajBIY4ijuaMxIB0-lkgYqi9J-C4FTBoTNGuBavyhp49dE
