Largest U.S. Bank Cuts Ties to Conservative Group, Canceling Donald Trump Jr. Event

The country's largest bank has cut ties with a Missouri conservative group, forcing an event that had been set to feature Donald Trump Jr. to be immediately canceled.

[....] Defense of Liberty founder Paul Curtman, a former GOP state representative, told the Missouri Independent that WePay informed him in a message that it would no longer do business with his group based on an alleged violation of terms of service and had refunded $30,000 in payments already processed for the event.

"It seems you're using WePay Payments for one or more of the activities prohibited by our terms of service," the message reportedly states. "More specifically: Per our terms of service, we are unable to process for hate, violence, racial intolerance, terrorism, the financial exploitation of a crime, or items or activities that encourage, promote, facilitate, or instruct others regarding the same."

Maybe Trump Jr and Defense of Liberty political action committee should not promote such things?

Or . . . maybe those things are their core message, and appeal to their base.

    Thus the lawsuits to set precedent, or Congress can update the anti-discrimination laws. Or we need privacy laws to protect personal information. We shall have to see how things play out, and so far I haven't seen any real issues with people getting access to services. What about ex-prisoners that have way more trouble than any other group? Maybe we should fix that discrimination first along with reforming the entire process to promote rehabilitation like some other countries have successfully done.
