In case you weren’t aware, the company stated in the past how a previous policy update spoke in detail about consumers being forced to pay a fine worth $2,500 to recompense for damages incurred. But in all reality, that was not true. They are now calling it a huge error on their part.
Meanwhile, shares for the firm that’s placed in California have gone on to reveal how a massive decline of nearly 6% post the update. And that is something that PayPal claims included a lot of inaccurate information. And as you can probably imagine, it has sparked intense backlash across social media for obvious reasons.
At the moment, PayPal is not going to be issuing any fines for anyone in regard to misinformation. Moreover, this information and the language used were called out for being highly inappropriate by the firm itself. In the same way, it apologized for the trouble and great confusion that it may have caused its valuable consumers.
A few notable media outlets mentioned last week how PayPal issued a new policy update that stopped its consumers from making use of its device and services for several activities. This includes the likes of sharing, posting, and even publishing texts, materials, and content that promoted such data.
If approved, this new policy was believed to go into effect by early next month where users would be liable to pay a fine of $2500 for every single violation. It’s quite interesting to see the company’s own former president slam the policy on his account on Twitter. He called it out and claims it goes against all that he believes in.
The tweet he published stated, a private firm will now get the chance to take away all of your funds if you happen to disagree with it. This is beyond insanity’- he added. And the first person who was to agree with the statement was Elon Musk.
The clarification that was first put out by PayPal was confirmed by Bloomberg News in the past.
So as you can see, PayPal is on its way to bringing back its lost love and support from some of its most loyal members. And if that means issuing an apology, then so be it.
