Small-Scale Question Sunday for January 29, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I remember a few months ago there was a credit card company that instituted a $1000 (or so) fine for politics, then walked it back when people protested as an "error", then later put it back into their terms and conditions. Anyone remember this story or have an article for me? I don't remember enough details to be able to find it via google.

It was paypal

Thanks, looking into it more it's not quite as bad as I remembered

Really? It looked pretty bad to me. Maybe everyone just gets used to every new bullshit thing that happens, and the previous bullshit doesn't look as bad by comparison.

Well I was wrong about them putting it back. I don't think they put it back, rather, their policies were already pretty bad and they reverted to those (better but still terrible) policies.
