Web site catering to gay men sues PayPal for ending service
A Mercury News article by Dan Reed, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
A New Orleans business has sued San Jose's PayPal because the Internet financial giant won't allow the company to use its service to collect donations for Hurricane Katrina victims.
The company, CFS.com, is angry -- angry enough to file a lawsuit Friday in Santa Clara County Superior Court. Its employees suffered losses from the hurricane, the suit says, and the Web site's supporters were thwarted when they wanted to help out.
Why would PayPal do that? How outrageous! How callous! How downright uncharitable! Well, there is this: CFS stands for Cruising for Sex. And its main purpose is to hook up homosexuals.
The site also contains numerous pictures of men interested in other men. And it sells pornographic videos. And some of its advertisers sell a variety of sex toys.
And PayPal -- an intermediary for money exchanges on the Net -- wants nothing to do with it.
