Jacob Rees-Mogg Accuses Paypal Of Pushing ‘Political Opinions’ On UK Public
Mr Rees-Mogg, among other MPs, including Sir Iain Duncan Smith, Michael Gove and David Davis, all accused PayPal of a ‘politically motivated move to silence critical or dissenting views’ on Covid.
Columnist Toby Young’s accounts were suspended by PayPal over his critical views on gender policy and for spreading ‘misinformation’ about the COVID-19 vaccination.
Toby Young founded the Free Speech Union, which is a UK-based organisation that advocates for freedom of speech. Following the company’s decision to suspend Mr Young’s accounts, Jacob Rees-Mogg has accused PayPal of “cancel culture” and “pushing” its political opinions on the British public.
The Business Secretary said:
“Corporations such as PayPal should not take part in cancel culture and push political opinions on the British public.
It is particularly concerning that it appears to have censored the Free Speech Union. They need to justify their behaviour.”
The union’s website states:
“The Free Speech Union was notified that PayPal was closing its account last Thursday, effective immediately.
The reason given was that we had breached the company’s ‘Acceptable Use Policy’, but no detail was provided.”
It also claimed the founder, Toby Young, had his personal PayPal account shut down for the same reason.
The statement claimed:
“It seems implausible that all three accounts could be guilty of exactly the same offence within minutes of each other.
We still do not know why, exactly, PayPal closed the FSU’s account, but we suspect it is because someone at PayPal – possibly the entire C-suite – disapproves of some of the people we have defended”.
But according to The Times, the accounts were closed due to ‘misinformation’ in regards to the COVID-19 vaccine, which breaches the company’s policies.
Mr Young has previously written tweets appearing to question links between excess deaths and the COVID-19 vaccination.
