is building an ad network based on your data

Quoting: “If you’re someone who’s buying products on the web, we know who is buying the products where, and we can leverage the ..."

They will collect this data by default - users will have to opt-out.

This will affect both PayPal and Venmo users.

PayPal teilt Daten mit “Partnern”

Daten mit "Partnern" Teilen heißt natürlich: Daten verkaufen. Mit Benutzerdaten wird schwunghafter Handel betrieben. Die "Partner" der ersten Stufe verkaufen die Daten weiter, und zwar in beträchtlichem Umfang. So partizipieren plötzlich hunderte andere Firme

Remarkably similar to China's social credit scoring system they are using (planning to use) on the general population -
" threatens Lite with ban over reward-to-watch feature
The new watch-and-get-rewarded application offers users prizes such as vouchers, gift cards via or TikTok’s Coins currency for points earned through “tasks”, which include watching videos, liking content, following creators or inviting friends to join.

Breton told reporters that TikTok Lite “could be as toxic and addictive as cigarettes”. He said that while TikTok’s main app offered users “fun and a sense of connection”, it also “comes with considerable risk for our children: addiction, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, low attention spans.”"

Again I'm calling with and the suckers keep saying this is totally normal :flan_laugh:

Getting locked out your account is part of te process now

Another guy just told me it was my fault because I was using the PayPal iOS app and that should only be done for "checking real quick" not daily use :nkoFacepalm2:

"You should use the browser'"

#FarRight #politics could hurt #business in #NorthCarolina. Again.

As far-right contenders dominate the #GOP ticket in a state known for its flourishing #economy, the business community is bracing for potential fallout

8 yrs ago in #NorthCarolina, #industry rebelled against America’s first #FarRight #Republican “bathroom bill.” That decree, which restricted #public restroom use by “biological sex,” crumbled just 12 months later after #PayPal, #CoStar, #Deutsche Bank & #Adidas all scrapped projects. #Springsteen & other artists canceled shows. The #NBA & the #NCAA shuttled games & tournaments elsewhere.

debanqued OP , to Finance in If Capital One merges with Discovercard, I will boycott /all/ credit cards (is that even possible?)

is one of the most evil:

I got burnt personally by them but even if I hadn’t they are among the least ethical options. There are some vendors selling products I would like to buy but they accept paypal exclusively, so I walk.. and go without. Recently I have encountered some small brick and mortar shops/cafes that use “Zettle”. is paypal. So if I see Zettle and they don’t take cash, I walk out. They share data with over 600 corporations so I will not allow Paypal to serve as a payment processor of my credit or debit card. Paypal are rotten to the core scumbags. They have some sneaky tricks for keeping people’s money under the guise of AML/KYC/anti-fraud, even though they are not a bank and escape those regulations anyway. It’s no surprise Elon Musk and Peter Thiel were involved with the founding of that company.
