PayPal bans the Free Speech Union, the Daily Sceptic, and Toby Young

US tech giant PayPal has shut down multiple accounts associated with the Free Speech Union (FSU), a UK group that protects those who are at risk of being penalized for exercising their right to free speech, and its founder, Toby Young.

Young said PayPal started “initiating closure” of his personal account, the account for his news website the Daily Sceptic, and the Free Speech Union last Thursday.

The FSU founder added that PayPal claimed the accounts had violated its “Acceptable Use Policy” but provided “no further details” on the alleged violations. When he tried appealing to PayPal’s customer services, Young said he “got nowhere.”
