PayPal is canceling accounts for Antifa and white supremacist groups

[DinardJoulien]

Yeah, because nazis and anti nazis are the same.

Well played.

Radicals are the same, yes.

- - - Updated - - -

their latest stunt with mob at tucker's house make them so different from what the KKK did/does?

But you see: they are the good guys on the right side of history, so they have privilege to attack, insult, harass, doxx other people, even if their own movement constantly cries that those methods are distasteful and could be used only by utter shitheads.

[infinit]

Wow, mmoc posters show their true colours

are you speaking about yourself? you do come off as a fascist

[Jshadowhunter]

Yeah, because nazis and anti nazis are the same.

Well played.

They're both socialist.

[Radaney]

PayPal have sure been active in banning accounts for political reasons.

They need to calm the fuck down.

[Orbitus]

Good on PayPal. Antifa are nothing more than a bunch of domestic terrorist.

Are you going to admit that the Proud Boys and other Nazis, that have been labeled domestic terrorists for DECADES, and not politically motivated definition like Antifa have gotten, are worse? Or you going to go with this "both sides" bullshit still?

but it is "both sides". are you going to ignore all the crap 1 side or the other have done in the name of their own political views? and dont tell me you believe that 1 side is innocent of all wrongdoings.

"Both sides" is equalizing two very clearly unequal parties.

It's like pointing to a bunch of people detained in a police station as all criminals. Despite the fact half of them are juvenile delinquents and the other half are convicted violent felons.

the sides arent equal. they still have both done horrible things. they both deserve not to have paypal be complicit in funding them or giving them a vehicle to gather money for any of their causes.

But it isn't both sides. Antifa has literally not committed a terrorist attack in this country. Meanwhile racists, white supremacists and Neo-Nazis have committed at least what? A half dozen, easily over the last couple of years?

[Cthulhu 2020]

Antifa is a terrorist organisation, they're already designated terrorists in America it's time for them to be designated everywhere and treated like any other gang like MS-13. Find them and either kill or imprison them.

Sickening that people on here defend antifa. I hate to imagine how pathetic your lives must be to sympathise with incel communist terrorists.

Killing and imprisoning people whose worst crime is knocking over trashcans. Good call.

[NoiseTank13]

Killing and imprisoning people whose worst crime is knocking over trashcans. Good call.

But someone got arrested for swinging a bike lock and injuring someone that's totally the same thing as sending multiple mail bombs, if not worse.

[Appelgren]

That's how it should be. Nobody would've heard of these white supremacist groups if it wasn't for Antifa getting them on the news.

Thanks Antifa.

PayPal said today that it will cancel accounts used by far-right group the Proud Boys as well as multiple accounts from anti-fascist groups.

The move will make it much harder for the groups to raise money online. The decision is the latest act of “de-platforming” by the tech industry, which has been grappling with how to effectively handle users that promote hateful or violent ideologies. The news was first reported by BuzzFeed News’s Blake Montgomery.

THE MOVE WILL MAKE IT HARDER FOR THE GROUPS TO RAISE MONEY
The ban will include the Proud Boys account as well as an account used by its founder, Gavin McInnes, PayPal said. The company is also canceling accounts for Atlanta Antifa, Antifa Sacramento, and the Anti-Fascist Network. PayPal had previously canceled accounts for Antifa Philadelphia, Antifa Arkansas, Belfast Antifa, and Rose City Antifa. The company also canceled an account used by Tommy Robinson, former leader of the far-right group the English Defence League.

In a statement, the company said it, like other tech platforms, was grappling with how best to enforce its policies.

“Striking the necessary balance between upholding free expression and open dialogue and protecting principles of tolerance, diversity and respect for all people is a challenge that many companies are grappling with today,” a PayPal spokesperson said. “We work hard to achieve the right balance and to ensure that our decisions are values-driven and not political. We carefully review accounts and take action as appropriate. We do not allow PayPal services to be used to promote hate, violence, or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory.”

In a statement posted to Twitter, Atlanta Antifa decried being banned alongside the far-right group. “Our group completely rejects the ‘both sides’ stance taken by PayPal,” the group’s organizers wrote, adding that their actions “are community self-defense.”

In September, as conspiracy website Infowars was banned by several platforms, PayPal also said it would no longer provide service to the site.

The Proud Boys recently generated national headlines after a violent altercation with antifa protestors that followed a speech from McInnes in New York City. Police initially arrested three protestors in connection to an incident near the event. After police were criticized for failing to arrest any Proud Boys, despite apparent video evidence of assaults, multiple members of the group were arrested in the following days.

Stopped reading after "Thanks Antifa".

With a idiotic statement like that it can only get even more stupid. People who support Antifa aren't any better than people supporting nazis or other terrorist organisations.

[Charge me Doctor]

How do they know which accounts belong to them? Can't they just create another one?

Got that wrong - both are bigots just on oposie side of the spectrum. So yeah If one group is allowed to pick and choose customers so should any other group. You know that's what equality means.

Both aren't bigots.

One is, the other is against them.

But then I don't think I really needed to explain that now, did I?

Kind of seems like political cowardice, really. Not that I'm surprised.

Looked for any stories about Antifa terror attacks, this is all I found:

After he was arrested earlier this week by authorities in South Dakota, Mark Einerwold immediately became a character in an ongoing narrative within conservative media, where he was depicted as the latest example of a left-wing domestic terror threat.
Headlines from a variety of right-leaning outlets asserted that Einerwold was a member of "Antifa," the radical anti-fascist group that has reportedly been accused of domestic terrorism by the Department of Homeland Security and has been the subject of stories on the likes of Fox News and Breitbart.

Einerwold was arrested on Tuesday in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on burglary charges for thefts in surrounding communities. Law enforcement there said they found bomb-making materials and illegal guns in his home, as well as a two-page anti-government document and a jacket that contained the word "Antifa" in his car.

But a cursory glance at Einerwold's Facebook account suggests that he is anything but supportive of Antifa. The profile is littered with pro-Second Amendment memes, and posts that lionize the American flag and criticize welfare recipients.

His "likes" include the Tea Party, online conservative personality Graham Allen and the pro-police movement Blue Lives Matter. Just last month, in fact, Einerwold posted a news report about Antifa -- though he hardly endorsed the group. "This is what the social justice looks like," he wrote. "These are the people taking over our campuses. They are militant, they are dangerous."

Minnehaha County Sheriff Mike Milstead told CNN that local reporters spotted the jacket as police removed it from Einerwold's vehicle.

The day after the arrest, Minnehaha County Sheriff's Captain Jason Gearman said at a press briefing that the "association with Antifa really concerns us."

Milstead said the jacket remains Einerwold's "only link" to Antifa, but that singular detail soon echoed throughout the right-wing media sphere.

The fringe website Gateway Pundit picked up on the story, running the headline: "Leftist Antifa Terrorist Arrested with Bombs with Plans to Sell to Friends to Kill Law Enforcement." The conspiratorial website InfoWars ran a similar headline for a story written by editor-at-large Paul Joseph Watson: "Cop-Hating Antifa Terrorist Caught With Explosives." And the narrative was pushed by Laura Loomer, a far-right personality, who claimed that Einerwold is representative of the anti-Trump movement.

"This is the 'resistance' the Democrats keep telling you to become a member of!" Loomer tweeted to her 196,000 followers.

Jim Hoft, the proprietor of Gateway Pundit, could not be reached because his voicemail inbox is full. Watson did not respond to a request for comment.

Loomer, who tweeted out a piece about Einerwold that was published by Big League Politics, responded to a direct message on Twitter by pointing out that she "didn't write the story."

She said in a subsequent message that she would cover the matter even if Einerwold turned out to be a supporter of President Donald Trump.

"It's all newsworthy," Loomer said. "We shall see."

Luke Rohlfing, the author of the Big League Politics story, did not respond to a request for comment.

Meanwhile, Einerwold's brother, Bob, insists that all of these descriptions are wildly off the mark. "He's conservative, he's pro-gun rights," Bob Einerwold told the Argus Leader of Sioux Falls. "He can't stand liberals." As for the Antifa" jacket, Bob said, "He didn't wear it out of pride, I can tell you that."

Bob Einerwold could not be reached for comment.

In an interview with CNN on Friday morning, Milstead said the coverage of the arrest went beyond the scope of his department's current findings. He said investigators are aware of Einerwold's social media footprint.

"We never definitively said he's a terrorist but that's what's being reported in some places," Milstead said. "We don't know what his intent was."

"It's something that we've learned is uncontrollable," he said of the media coverage. "People will take stories and it's a little like uncontrolled filtering; it gets changed every time it's told. But that's something we have no control over. We're in the middle of an investigation."
