The story was shocking: As PJM’s Rick Moran stated Saturday, “The financial services company PayPal announced a controversial policy to deduct up to $2,500 from the accounts of users who spread ‘misinformation.’” But as the news of this astonishing plan circulated far and wide, PayPal experienced a swift backlash in the formof a blizzard of account cancellations, and quickly backed down, claiming that the announcement went out “in error” and adding: “PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy.” That’s terrific, or would be if it weren’t for the fact that PayPal’s current Acceptable Use Policystill threatens $2,500 fines per infraction for promoting “hate” and “intolerance” — language the Left regularly uses to characterize (and demonize) speech that is critical of its insane policies.
I had to read this paragraph twice to pick up the point the author, Robert Spencer, was making about PayPal's fine still in place, but left more implicit in it's intent to fine based on two categories; hate and intolerance. I put the text in bold for quick find on the policy in the paragraph above.
Do you think this policy is clear enough, fair or leaves the discretion of PayPal to interpret rule breaking with the flexibility of this vague policy on hate and intolerance?
