Can you imagine back in the day when Libra was a thing and they actually thought people were going to trust them with their real money that would have been used to purchase it?

Likewise, I still for the life of me can't figure out why people still use PayPal after the endless "I just logged on and they told me my account and funds were frozen/It's been 6+ months of trying to unfreeze my PayPal funds and still no luck".

Like if there was actual illegal activity, you'd imagine they'd report it (as required by law) and some government entity would freeze the funds; instead PayPal just does so and does who knows what with the money in the meantime, interest-free.

yeah, if you go out of your way to break the social graph, facebook will ban you quickly under the excuse of "spammers also do this". one way around this is to send a few friend requests (and get them accepted) during your first signin session.

Yeah, created a FB account for same reason (manage ads and org page). It is not usable anymore.
