PayPal petition
PayPal is censoring what you can read by demanding publishers remove certain erotic literature from their offerings. You can find out about both sides by reading my blog: http://rushmorejudd.blogspot.com/?zx=5e35154b7906abb9 or hear PayPal’s side by reading their blog: https://www.thepaypalblog.com/2012/03/paypals-acceptable-use-policy-on-sale-of-certain-erotica/ Apparently they have decided the courts are the wrong place to decide what is taboo in literature. If you liked the Twilight series (bestiality) or if you enjoy erotica in general, please sign this position to stop PayPal. https://eff.org/r.1Uy

One needn’t even like erotica to see the danger in this. In fact one can morally abhor erotica of any kind and still should oppose this move to eliminate it. Censorship never stops with the fringe of what’s acceptable to society’s moral beliefs and the broad definitions like the ones listed as items to be censored can be used to apply to many forms of literature. I wasn’t kidding when I said it could end up making us unable to even purchase a bible online. This kind of censorship frightens me more than anything anyone could write.
Paypal is a joke. They don’t allow e-cigarette sales either.
I have never used it.
I have never used pay pal. having said that, I don’t think PP should be allowed to take such a big decision.
@roxics - @Grannys_Place - @ZSA_MD - @tsh44 - Good news. PayPal has backed down and will be revising its policies, allowing publishers to print any legal material. (So I’ve been told.) Thanks for your support.
