PayPal Shuts Down MHB’s Account 71
On January 22, 2015 Memory Hole Blog received an email from “PayPal Brand Risk Management,” stating that it is closing MHB’s account used to receive donations. Memory Hole has had a relationship
with PayPal for two years. Suddenly, however, the company has chosen to unilaterally discontinue MHB’s account services.
Here is the key passage from the email announcing discontinuation of the account:
On January 22 MHB posted a brief piece on Prof. Jim Fetzer’s new book, And Nobody Died in Boston Either. As many readers are aware, in November 2015 Amazon.com refused to carry Fetzer’s title, Nobody Died at Sandy Hook. This is a disturbing pattern of de facto censorial practice all too familiar under the post-9/11 police state America has become.
Here is the audio file of a 1/22/16 telephone call to PayPal attempting to petition the abrupt shutdown of services:
