    Already rescinded, with a bullshit line about how it was a mistake in the press release.

      Clearly not a mistake.

  And it seems like they're trying to experiment with new legal ways to seize funds, like a $2500 fine for offensive speech: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33062320 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33062320

    Already rescinded. Please keep up.

      The 2500$ fee isn't rescinded - it was only pulled for that specific case.

      They simply got blow-back and retracted that new AUP and replaced it with a blank single-page PDF, but very specific, legal language doesn't just get inserted "by mistake". AUP changes, especially incredibly controversial and possibly existential changes, will obviously go through multiple levels of approval and legal at a company the size of PayPal. They just got caught.

  I guess that the most recent tweet, that a shipping container of 15k units has been seized by US Customs, might be related. Could PayPal be acting under government orders, on this one?
