This is a bit tangential to the topic, but I find it immensely more interesting that after literal decades of utterly egregious abuses and downright evil behavior by PayPal, people still seem to be surprised by this type of behavior.<p>I find it so fascinating because it is a kind of manifestation of what is clearly a kind of mentality of abused people, the kind of people who usually others see as being trapped in a kind of inability to internalize the abuse being perpetrated against them, and therefore rationalize, excuse, ignore, etc. to simply push away and hide and suppress the clear abuses happening to them. It's just as sad as it is interesting to me because of the inherent illogical puzzle it represents, a puzzle that clearly has not yet been solved or for which there exists no easy and clean solution. How do you get someone out of an abusive relationship, be it a personal relationship or something like a formalized cult?<p>We are all abused by PayPal and other tech companies on a constant basis, yet all we do is lament the treatment, while simply just continuing on in the abusive relationship. Someone should tell PayPal, etc. "no, you are not allowed to abuse us anymore. We have human rights and your lies, deceit, abuse, manipulation, gaslighting, monopolization, etc are not going to be tolerated anymore." But I guess our other abusers in Congress get too much money and free meals out of it to change that.
