Unfortunately, PayPal permanently locked our GrapheneOS Foundation account today. No reason has been provided for the account being locked. All we've done is accept donations. We added our bank account information yesterday in order to begin withdrawing money and it was locked. GrapheneOS Foundation is a non-profit organization incorporated federally in Canada. PayPal required us to provide both proof of identity and address for each director along with other documents, etc. to have our account approved. We received CA$3,950.75 of donations through it.

Fuck PayPal for real, everyone still using this should switch to competitors or bitcoin. I've heard dozens of stories where PayPal screwed over their customers, me included some time ago...

I don't understand why one would set up a PP account with a CC when you could just use that to pay with in the first place, delete them! Bitcoin fixes all of that anyway of course. Love GOS, zapped.

People do for whatever their personal reasons, not for us to question them. If that is what a subset of our donors wish to use then it made/makes sense for our non-profit, open source project to accommodate, not thumb our noses at someones gracious generosity. Yet I do see where you're coming from and understand your position.

I completely disagree. Paypal is the enemy. Use it and you support the enemy, plain and simple.

These utterly Zionist companies are just proving why we need protocols like #Bitcoin and #Nostr with platforms like #GrapheneOS. Never underestimate their evil power and we have just so few Freedom tools against them, so protect them at any cost! 🤙💪 View quoted note →
