Consumer Financial Protection Bureau considers investigating PayPal over fining people for legal speech

PayPal says that it may fine users $2,500 for promoting “intolerance that is discriminatory.”

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) director Rohit Chopra said he was considering investigating  over a now-retracted update to the user agreement that said users would be fined $2,500 for spreading misinformation.

“I’ve never actually never heard of a payment system thinking that it could fine someone for legal expression that their users are making,” Chopra told CNBC.

“We have ordered most of the Big Tech firms for information about how they are making decisions about who they kick off their platforms,” Chopra added. “But we also need to look into whether they believe they can be fining users for illegal activity.”

PayPal said that the updated policy was sent in error.

“An AUP notice recently went out in error that included incorrect information,” a PayPal spokesperson said. “PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy. Our teams are working to correct our policy pages. We’re sorry for the confusion this has caused.”
