PayPal is diverting attention away from this gaff by referring to 'misnformation'. This attempts to paint a much more positive picture.

Unfortunately the verbiage in the document went WAY BEYOND 'misinformation'.

If someone at PayPal is publishing legal documents without the legal team signing off - people will be getting fired.

But then again - they had an email campaign and website updates to support the document - indicating it was a planned and coordinated change.

Interesting how people think corporations are able to make single button click whoopsies with all the red tape, bureaucracy, and various teams involved to support these kinds of efforts.

It's blank because they deleted the document, even though the website is still pointing to it.

Email campaign + website edits + legal document = coordinated efforts. The only mistake was it backfired.

So if PayPal has figured out a way to click a single button and have a legal documented updated, an email campaign started, and a website updated... they need to share this technology with other corporations because that's literally not how anything currently works.

Negative.

These documents are reviewed by an entire legal team & require various sign offs before they can be published. This kind of update literally cannot happen simply because some offshore person accidentally published a draft.

The fact there was an email campaign, website update, and a legal PDF document are absolute proof of this. This requires coordinated efforts amongst a whole host of different teams and isn't something that happens by mistake.

The mistake was they tried to pull a quick one and got caught.

Exactly correct. These legal agreements don't get updated by mistake.

I don't know if they thought nobody would actually read the changes, but I'm sure they quickly realized their error when people started deleting their accounts en masse.

The problem is most people don't realize information is being captured even before they hit a submit button.

Type a mean tweet but have a change of heart? Captured.
Fill out a form with all of your information then decide not to submit? Captured.

While it may not be public, the admins of that site now have data you didn't explicitly intend to send them.

Luckily, if you haven't already realized all electronic devices connected to the internet are spying on you, you likely have bigger problems.

...being a pharma shill.

The most ironic part - India is home to the worlds largest cattle population! Yet India consumes the lowest amount of meat per capita and has the lowest life expectancy of all nations.

If you swipe your card at places, especially restaurants, you can't prevent the possibility. Credit cards typically have fraud protection, so it's not a big deal really.

There are also many notification options, like if the card isn't physically present, charges over a set limit, etc....

To answer the other question, the last time my American Express (blue card) was compromised, they sent a new card with new numbers. They have some way to update your bill payments on the backend - I have no idea how. All of my bills continued to get paid despite having a new physical number on the card.

Strawman argument. He didn't make that "excuse" at all.

Guess what? RURAL Oklahoma is not the same as Tulsa or OKC.

Guess what else? They had to retract the story.

Guess why? It was fact checked AFTER it made the rounds and determined to be fabricated.

Newsweek? LOL.

I like how the source refers to rural Oklahoma. Then goes on to say gunshot victims can't get to the hospital because ivermectin victims are clogging the system.

Gunshot victims in rural Oklahoma? Did you even bother thinking about that?

As someone who has lived in Oklahoma their whole life, gunshots are incredibly rare here. It's not Chicago.

You people will believe anything.

5 minutes of research could prevent you from making a fool of yourself, but it's too late for that.

Yes ivermectin is labeled as an "anti-parasitic" drug. To think drugs only have 1 purpose is short sighted. Many drugs have multiple applications and valid off-label uses. Ivermectin has been known to have antiviral properties for decades. It's documented and studied. It's literally the reason it was chosen as a candidate medication in treating covid. It's not like they were drawing straws on whatever crazy drug they could think of next. For the media to spin things the way they have, "it's a horse dewormer, stupid!" is extremely misleading and dishonest. Although, it's comical when clowns regurgitate it.

You're welcome.

This "phenomenon" is not limited to Americans. It's a worldwide trend and there is a very good reason for it. Let me tell you a story.

I have been following ivermectin since July/August of last year when my sisters husband was hospitalized with covid. The urgent care doctors that originally tested him informed him about ivermectin as a possible treatment option. However, once he was hospitalized the hospital wouldn't even consider it. They were doing next to nothing while his condition rapidly deteriorated. He couldn't breath and he was desperate. He had a handful of Ivermectin smuggled into the hospital and took it. Call him crazy, but his condition rapidly improved and he was released the following day. While this story is anecdotal, it was close to home for me and why I started following the story. So unlike most people who have only recently started following it - I've been following it for over a year. Right, wrong, or indiffierent... I noticed some very unsettling things about the way information is shared and censored in this brave new world we live in.

As I was doing research, it seemed very promising and I didn't understand: Why aren't people talking? Then I quickly noticed people were talking! Doctors. Scientists. Academics, etc.. They were being censored. I saw post after post, video after video, wiped from existence. It wasn't just big tech, even institutions were silencing their own. It was bizarre. Generally we encourage open and honest conversations. These people weren't offering medical advice or tinfoil hat conspiracy theories - they were simply having intelligent discourse. It didn't matter how they prefaced it. It didn't matter what disclaimers they made. Don't rock the boat when you're sitting in it!

Then it happened. Brett Weinstein let the cat out of the bag on Joe Rogan's podcast. Not exactly something you can rewind and delete. Immediately the mainstream was suddenly willing to talk about ivermectin. It unleashed a massive smear campaign almost overnight. They distorted the truth and cherry picked data. By this point I already had an idea of what was going on.

Ivermectin is extremely safe in humans. It won a nobel prize. It's cheap. Easy to manufacture. Widely available. The problem? The patent expired. Nobody makes money off of it. Even the company that originally held the patent wants nothing to do with it. Merck was already developing a new drug.

Yes ivermectin is labeled as an "anti-parasitic" drug. To think drugs only have 1 purpose or effect is incredibly ignorant and naive. Many drugs have multiple applications and valid off-label uses. Ivermectin has been known to have anti-viral properties for decades. It's documented and studied. It's literally the reason it was tested in covid. It's not like they were drawing straws on what crazy drug they tried next. For the media to spin things the way they have, "it's a horse dewormer, stupid!" is extremely misleading and dishonest. Is anyone really surprised at this point?

There is a meta analysis; 63 total studies. 44 have been peer reviewed. 31 are randomized controlled trials. The results are statistically significant. More needs to be done, but a lot already has.

Disclaimer - I just came down with covid a few days ago and I am not planning on taking ivermectin. I'm metabolically healthy and do not live my life in fear. I also keep an open mind. You should try it.
