How is this any different form all the other companies that adopted the same Anti-Class action policies in the last few months? Whats so special about Paypal compared to Microsoft, Apple, Google, Steam, etc, that we need this posted 5 times in the last two weeks, and also constantly making it out to be so much worse than everyone else. I know everyone loves hating on Paypal but this is kinda stupid.
Well this is different and unsettling: "Calls to You; Mobile Telephone Numbers. Section 1.10 is being updated to state:
By providing PayPal a telephone number (including a mobile telephone number), you agree to receive autodialed and prerecorded message calls at that number..."
Automated phone calls to a number you provide is one of the ways that paypal authenticates your identity. Welcome to the internet, where anyone can be anyone!
Haven't looked into the policies of the other companies, but PayPal has gotten a lot of attention recently when folks on HN were complaining about their accounts being randomly closed/frozen by PayPal.
I don't know about you, but if my account was indeed terminated without reason, thus causing my business financial problems (or maybe even failure), I would want to take legal actions.
Mediation may not be the answer, especially when it is you vs. a giant company.
