PayPal users have only themselves to blame for this. Looks like they are the only ones who didn't know that PayPal is a department of the NSA, who attempt to keep an eye on Joe Public at all costs. 🙂

Paypal is a global scam...

Didn't exact thing happen to wiki leak founder? PayPal simply froze his account and they do this to small businesses too. It's a great tool for manipulation that's for sure.

Dark stuff indeed... I have heard about many crowd funded projects having their donated backers funds frozen, then drip fed at PayPal's discretion. Paypal gives the excuse that they do not trust that the project might succeed or be legitimate and are freezing backers donated funds to protect the backers (who do Not want to be protected in this manner - after all the funds were "Donated" - therefore Given and non-retrievable in most backed projects that reached their funding goal) - PayPal have Far Overstepped their bounds !!! This hurts or even causes such projects to fail as they no longer have access to the funds they needed to successfully fund their project. Paypal also do not listen to reason in most cases I have seen, when requested to release sufficient funds to allow the project to even get started. I hope Paypal get put in their place and Soon.

There's still Startmail, Countermail, Darkmail and others. So I don't see this being a NSA move to censor secure email or whatnot- they're too late. It's either PayPal being stupid or maybe they truly think the service is illegal or a scam (which to be honest, there has been a ton of "NSA-proof" emails popping up and I don't doubt some of them are borderline scams).

Gee why dose everything have to be so misleading, You do know that the funds are automatic refund back to the owner and by the everything is a global scam never trust any one, And PayPal has restored its account any way.

Just a delay until the NSA can backdoor them. I only have paypal for ebay. Bitcoin seems better frankly.

Paypal is on nsa payroll. Nothing to see here.

Does Amazon report directly to NSA when a customer buys an item which they may consider questionable, like Chinese-manufactured SmartPhones, even though they are purchased from South Korea?

Paypall, eBay, Google (including youtube), Amazon... we have to fight those.

yip, another free world paypal action.

Use bitmessage.ch instead. Isn't that hard? NSA couldn't do anything about it. As for ProtonMail, common sense here: use Bitcoin!
