A noise like… like a huge pair of scissors opening and shutting?
PayPal is working to end their services for far-right YouTuber Stefan Molyneux, the internet personality behind such viral videos as “The Story of Your Enslavement,” “Take the Red Pill” and “The Flat Earth Conspiracy Debate.” The online payment platform confirmed the termination in a statement shared with Newsweek, writing that “After conducting an extensive review, PayPal has made the decision to discontinue our business relationship with Stefan Molyneux.”
PayPal’s decision to remove Molyneux from their service is an injurious rebuke to the far-right personality, as much of his income has come from fan gifts, including recurring donations through PayPal…. Sleeping Giants co-founder Nandini Jammi first made efforts to bring Molyneux’s content to PayPal’s attention in April, she told Right Wing Watch. On October 14, she retweeted a post displaying screenshots of Molyneux’s Twitter activity promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories regarding the media. Jammi encouraged her followers to contact PayPal directly and ask why Molyneux was still allowed to use the platform.
Snicker-snackeroo!
