PayPal has admitted that a prominent children’s rights campaigner was “debanked” during the pandemic after speaking out against school closures and mandatory vaccines.
The US online payments giant told Molly Kingsley, founder of the parent campaign group UsForThem, that her account had been terminated in September 2022 owing to “the nature of its activities”.
Hers was one of a handful of accounts that were frozen by PayPal, all of which belonged to individuals or organisations that questioned the government’s policies during the pandemic.
