Smashwords Succumbs to Censorship by Paypal

These PayPal chumps are getting on my last nerve.

Last time I checked, American Express does not prohibit me from purchasing any book or magazine I choose. I fail to understand why PayPal believes it has the right to assert those kinds of restrictions [barring the pedantic answer of "it's in their ToS"].

The only guess I have is that this is somehow tied into the US government's recent attempt to crack down on Things It Does Not Like™ by choking off their money supply.

This is just another brick in the wall to make Internet look like it is a source of danger for all of us.

But we know who it is an actual danger for.
