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:
PayPal has a long-standing, consistent, acceptable use policy. We take action when we believe that individuals or organizations have violated this policy. According to company policy, PayPal does not disclose specific account information for current or former customers.
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.

Big tech is coordinating a massive attack on our organization for trying to protect children. THIS IS INSANE. pic.twitter.com/AwAzd1eV0p

"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:
We are not afraid of this. We are not intimidated. We will not stop. We are an all-gay organization. We even have some trans people within our organization, just trying to fight this evil that is happening in the name of LGBTQIA, the whole alphabet mafia. We're just trying to deal with it, and we're being punished for it.
Michell noted that companies "have chosen to support child sexualization advocates."
They are defending pedophiles and child predators and the whole ideology that is transitioning children and mutilating their bodies and using them as sexual objects. That's the side they want to be on.
