PayPal closes accounts of BDS activists in France

PayPal's made a positive step in dealing with anti-Israel movements:
For the second time in 30 days, PayPal shut down the account of a French organization advocating anti-Israel boycotts. Bravo!

The US-based online payment service giant PayPal closed the account of a French organization advocating the boycott, divestment, sanctions (BDS) campaign targeting Israel.

A PayPal spokesperson said, “We would like to stress that PayPal has zero tolerance for the use of our secure payments platform to facilitate illegal activities.” France has tough anti-BDS legislation, the Lellouche Law, which bans nationality-based discrimination.

Bravo to PayPal for standing up against BDS!
On that I fully concur. It's good to see that those responsible are getting tougher in dealing with such awful movements.

I don't really see this as a good thing. They shouldn't be closing any accounts because inevitably they will be biased against the ones actually advocating for good.
Having said that I guess it's 'good' that they have at least closed those evil accounts, I guess.
