FYI (before misinformation spreads): OP's title is a bit misleading. The $2500 policy has been in effect since at least September 20 of last year. That is not a new change. The new thing is section 5 (regarding "speech")

That policy is so vague and sprawling, they could literally use it to take money from Biden's account and it would stand in court.

lol

I like “otherwise unfit for publication” whatever the heck that means.

It means whatever it wants in "certain" contexts. I've never seen the word "certain" used to imply so many vague, uncertain things before.

Isn't that a pretty common use of that word?

Probably contradicting the narrative with regards to "The Current Thing."

Sounds like the lawyer did their job. :)

Thanks for reminding us. I am also using Paypal. It is a great payment system.

Oh sh* am I out $2500? \s

...

They didn't have a speech rule, it's a new speech rule.

What would you have titled it?

"$2500 for new speech rule" seems accurate. I could have suggested it's a new "speech rule", but it's not clear what the violation costs would be.
