Dan Bogino did too. Citing a well-known source of dispassionate reporting of the news: The Blaze, which itself cited something called Defense Maven, which that author cites himself from being suspended from Facebook about some Blue Lives Matter post he made.

Didn’t leave a link to their article.

In other words, this appears to be manufactured outrage. Another one of those things someone makes up on the right, sees how far it can be spread, and if lucky, makes it to the Big Show on FOX.

Every service has a TOS, which spells out what language, etc., the provider of the service considers appropriate. It’s a contract in a sense. User agrees to the TOS in order to use the service. If user breaks the rules of the TOS, provider can kick him off. It’s just basic contractual law. But asshats get their panties all twisted in knots, and accuse the provider of being the “thought police” and other BS.

Now they’re angry at Patreon and PayPal, because PayPal (which processes payments to Patreon accounts) is enforcing its TOS against Patreon accounts that violate PayPal’s rules. It’s like no one is letting these people publish hate speech and incite violence! How horrible!!
