Just as you arbitrarily decided payment companies don't have the right to set standards their customers must meet, so I am over ruling your right to decide what to do with your money.
You will now turn over all of your money and I shall invest it for you entirely in a vintage Beanie Baby collection.
After all only certain people have rights and others don't.
Obviousely the sole detirminer of which is which must be me.

Except Paypal has essentially just abrogated that right for itself. It's decided it will be the moral arbiter of what you get to read, of what gets published, of what gets bought and sold, not just in America but around the world. As a virtual monopoly, it gets to impose its hard-right Christian beliefs on everyone else everywhere. And if you think it won't expand its definition of 'forbidden' material you're kidding yourself. Censors always start on the outside, then work their way in, step by step.
