« Intellectual Blinders Worn Proudly | Main | Unbelievable » September 24, 2004Time to Dump PayPal?Bill Quick is being told to change the content of his web site (DailyPundit, in the highly unlikely case you're not familiar with it) by the internet money transfer service PayPal. Apparently Daily Pundit does not meet with their exacting standards, so they're going to suspend his account. They are perfectly within their rights to do so, and I would defend their right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. But PayPal will not see another dime of my money, and I would encourage my readers to withhold their support from them as well. Just as I believe that private enterprise has the right to run their business however they choose, I believe that private citizens have the right to reward or punish businesses for those choices. I wouldn't frequent a business that refused service to people based on their gender or ethnicity, nor will I frequent a business that attempts to censor their customers.

» Ditching PayPal from FreedomSight Tracked on September 25, 2004 10:21 PM CommentsI sorta with I had a PayPal account to cancel in protest. But then I've heard plenty of bad things about them in the past. One day, we can hope, somebody else will start up a similar service, but be friendlier to various segments of the population, such as gun owners.
