Jacob Rees-Mogg has warned US tech giant PayPal to stop
“pushing political opinions” on the British public.
Mr Rees-Mogg, the Business Secretary, has waded into a growing
row over cancel culture following PayPal’s decision to shut
down the account of the Free Speech Union (FSU).
PayPal, the digital payments firm, closed down all accounts
linked to Toby Young, the FSU’s founder. The group defends
gender-critical academics and people who have lost work for
expressing opinions.
In an intervention that will be welcomed by free-speech campaigners,
Mr Rees-Mogg said: “Corporations such as PayPal should not take part
in cancel culture and push political opinions on the British public.
“It is particularly concerning that it appears to have censored the
Free Speech Union. They need to justify their behaviour.”
. . .
At LAST some sensibility instead of knee-jerk capitulation
to far-leftist censors convinced they have a monopoly on
Truth.
But this should have started the day Sharon Osbourne was
booted from her show .... that was the sign ......
