Leading figures in the Conservative Party like Michael Gove, Iain Duncan Smith, and Sir Graham Brady are considering new laws after PayPal recently closed the accounts of several British campaign and journalist groups.
PayPal has faced a backlash since it last week shut down the account of the Free Speech Union (FSU), an organisation that defends people who have lost work or been cancelled for expressing opinions. Around the same time, the online payment system also shut down the account for UsForThem, a campaigning group that advocated for children to be prioritised during the COVID-19 pandemic.
