After “media watchdog” group Media Matters for America accused PayPal and GoFundMe of hosting crowdfunding campaigns for organizations that “spread harmful COVID-19 misinformation,” PayPal said it would no longer process donations for groups, including the National Vaccine Information Center, that oppose vaccine mandates.

Story at-a-glance:

  • Dec. 21, 2021, after business hours, PayPal notified the National Vaccine Information Center that it would no longer process donations from their supporters — effective immediately.
  • Other organizations also dropped by PayPal include the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance and Organic Consumer’s Association.
  • In October 2021, self-proclaimed “media watchdog” group Media Matters for America accused PayPal and GoFundMe of “hosting crowdfunding campaigns for organizations that spread harmful COVID-19 misinformation.”
  • PayPal is actively researching transactions that fund hate groups, anti-government organizations and extremists — it’s unclear, however, how they define these terms or the groups that fall under them.
  • Instead of ignoring, fearing or abandoning information that is being targeted with censorship, use censorship as a cue or guide that you should delve more deeply into the topic at hand to reveal the underlying truth.
