THERE IS A REASON THEY ARE CALLED THE #PAYPAL MAFIA

PayPal Mafia - Wikipedia -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal_Mafia

Persona is connected to Palantir which is connected to Paypal, and obliquely, to Facebook.

no FLOSS project should depend on the services of a company that is at the forefront of this #surveillanceCapitalism #techbros dystopia.

if you are in USA, direct deposit to a bank covered by FDIC laws is still better than using a service financed by Gay Hitler.

@blogdiva@mastodon.social AMERICA: we have so many Hitlers and we're so devoted to the neoliberal concept of equality that we even have a GAY Hitler!!!

infinite sobbing

@blogdiva Paypal used to be X.com and then got bought and then Elon bought Twitter and renamed it X? My god, he's even more lacking in imagination than I previously thought.

AND IN BEFORE, “BUT THEY AREN'T IN #PAYPAL ANYMORE”

bitch, which data do you think Gay Hitler used to start Palantir? you think he started with a clean slate after hitting the lottery with both Paypal and Facebook?

how clueless do you have to be to not consider they are using payment and banking information for millions of Paypal users?

oh, but they are covered by FDIC laws now? yet they parseltongue about not being a bank, don't they?

get out of Paypal & all its related companies.

@aud

Even the original Nazis had a gay Nazi! Ernst Röhm. Maybe Peter Thiel should read up on what happened to him.

@blogdiva PayPal is also sent SKU level data from merchants when you pay that way, i.e., a list of the items you are buying.

When a normal credit card transaction is sent for processing, NOT through PayPal, SKU level data is very often not included unless the POS and the gateway/processor support what’s known as Level III data (amongst other things) and the card is the right type (generally corporate purchasing type cards). But lots of merchants don’t send that even if something is a purchase card because the don’t have the integration to do so.

PayPal always gets the SKU data though as far as I know. Also if you buy, say, a book from them, they know the name of the book, not just that it was a book.
