miriam_eHeavens! This should be front page news everywhere. Google, who get much mileage out of their "Don't be evil" corporate motto are quietly implementing evil as standard procedure, it seems. And I can't help wondering if perhaps Elon Musk would be ashamed of what PayPal are doing.
I can no longer pay for my Dreamwidth account via PayPal or Google Checkout because Dreamwidth refused to censor user content beyond legal requirements, that is, they refused to let PayPal or Google meddle in users' blogs. PayPal and Google each then cancelled Dreamwidth's account. So far, I can still use my "credit" card (actually a debit card).
