I recently closed my PayPal account - when they had that weird thing they were trying to add to their terms about fining people if they made posts that were wrongthink[1].

The total impact to my life has been about 35 seconds of inconvenience adding a CC to steam and a couple other things instead of paying with PayPal.

I'm in the habit now of divesting myself from any financial institution that attempts to influence or place controls on how I spend my money, or that gets involved with politics in pretty much any way, "right" or "left". I want my financial institution to be Switzerland and accountable only to their fiduciary responsibility.
