UK: PayPal Urged to Cut Off BNP
Tim Richardson writes in The Register:
Tory MP Ben Wallace has written to the boss of PayPal Europe over concerns that the online payment service is being used to raise funds for the British National Party (BNP).
The MP for Lancaster & Wyre was reacting to a campaign set in motion by his local branch of Unite Against Fascism (UAF) which claims that the BNP's extremist views breach Paypal's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) which states that "You many not use PayPal in the purchase or sale of items or support of organizations that promote hate, violence, or racial intolerance."
Activists want e-Bay-owned PayPal to pull the plug on the BNP's account in a bid to dry up funding for the political party.
