Jack Dee has cancelled his PayPal account in support of them.
Toby Young has not been told why? [The instrument of my downfall was PayPal, the technology company that supports online money transfers and operates as a payment processor for online businesses, auction sites and so on. At around 2 p.m. last Thursday I received an email from PayPal informing me that the company was ‘initiating closure’ of my personal account because I was ‘in violation’ of its ‘Acceptable Use Policy’. I looked up that policy and it covers a multitude of sins, but no clue was offered as to which one I’d committed. ‘If you have money in your PayPal balance, we’ll hold it for up to 180 days,’ it said. That was a bit annoying because I have over £600 in the account, but it wasn’t the end of the world. I mainly use it for receiving payments from European magazines I write for occasionally.] Toby Young is associate editor of The Spectator https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/...-cancelled-me- PayPal getting Political is crazy. |

What's wrong with supporting free speech? What are they meant to have "said" ?

A female sportsperson getting in trouble - I'm guessing she spoke out against male people in women's sports?

The problem is "free speech" offends way too easily nowadays. And a big fuss is made if a small group of people don't agree. In reality, opinions are always going to differ, people can't seem to distinguish others from having an opinion and/or being intentionally offence.

People jumping on bandwagons before even knowing the full story on things and straight away trusting the words of biased parties is so wild

Free speech is a very topical subject.
