PayPal Cuts Off Reddit Clone Voat Over 'Obscenity' | Motherboard
'We used PayPal only as a means to receive voluntary donations from people who wanted to support further development of Voat and to help pay for our hosting fees. '
'The response from Voat users to this action by PayPal has obviously been overwhelmingly negative (as one user hyperbolized, “Now I see why the Roman Republic fell”). '
'Voat is essentially a clone of Reddit in appearance and functionality, but the site’s moderators have vowed not to censor the content of any subforums. '
'Colo also points out that Reddit has not received any similar treatment from PayPal, despite still hosting metric tons of objectionable content. '
'For this reason, as a temporary measure, we have decided to ban any subverses which we discover or which are reported to us, where links to illegal content [are] being shared. '
