More Big Tech censorship: PayPal, Venmo and Google ban 'Gays Against Groomers’
Companies "are defending pedophiles and child predators," said Jaimee Michell, one of the organization's founders.
PayPal, Venmo and Google have blocked - at virtually the same time - the Gays Against Groomers accounts, an activist organization that fights against sexualization, indoctrination and hormonal medical treatments in children.
The companies cite "policy violations" as the main reason for banning the group's accounts. However, they do not clearly specify in which ways the organization infringed that would lead to the suspension of its accounts.
Multiple bans in less than 24 hours
The bans occurred in less than 24 hours, something that the group finds suspicious. The organization took to their Twitter account upon learning that they had been banned to comment on what had happened: "We just got banned from @Venmo and @PayPal (within minutes of each other) for "violating their user agreements." We are an all-gay organization whose sole mission is to safeguard children from abuse. Woke homophobia woke is real, folks."
PayPal, reached out to the group via email saying that they had violated their "acceptable use policy." Venmo, likewise, accused Gays Against Groomers of "violating their user agreement." None of the companies gave any specific reasons. A PayPal spokeswoman commented anonymously to Breitbart News:
After PayPal and Venmo "blacklisted" the activist organization, Google informed them that their Gmail account had been deactivated. Even in times of censorship by Big Tech,deactivating an e-mail account is not a common occurrence. Google said the account had been disabled because "it appears to have been associated with several other accounts or created by a program." No further explanation was given.
"They are defending pedophiles"
Jaimee Michell, one of the founders of Gays Against Groomers, said on the Tucker Carlson Tonight television program - broadcast on the Fox network - that blacklisting would not intimidate them:
Michell noted that companies "have chosen to support child sexualization advocates."
