I changed my username to “PayPal CEO” just because it’s available. I commented somewhere. Later they suspended my account stating impersonation 🥶😨. I got a warning message saying my account got suspended through 25th October. It’s already 26th. I had already changed my username. Please unblock my previous account 🤦♂️
Hello Mr. Schulman. Any comment on the rumors around PayPal acquiring BitGo?
I don’t want to get permanently blocked by commenting on this 😂
Blind is taking itself too seriously.
Haha spot on.
It does seem stupid, but I could see legit reason for concern. You do occasionally have people posting and truthfully describing their position at major companies. There could be issues around disclosure of confidential information, securities fraud, etc. Mostly these legal issues would be the poster’s problem, but Blind could have some kind of liability if they knew the information was false. Eg. what if PayPal sued to get the false posts taken down. It’s risk mitigation and simpler policy to categorically ban such impersonation of high profile execs.
Why is that username available in first place? If you see blind has blocked some usernames like anonymous etc. This mess could’ve been just avoided
I would guess they have better tools to monitor posting activity vs requiring approval to choose usernames, although it would be better to just have a block list which requires special approval
So PayPalCEO was available, huh? I wonder why
How you have 2 accounts from same email?
Just give different password
