This would be slightly less appalling if PayPal weren't so ban-happy towards people and organizations who weren't actually doing anything wrong. But as it stands, their false positive rate and false negative rate are both unacceptably high.

This is why I defend the controversial Cloudflare policy of being so slow and deliberate in removing things.
Hasn't Cloudflare started removing a lot more lately than they ever used to?
I've not heard that. From my current understanding, they generally don't evict a site when there is no risk of legal action. Maybe you're thinking of their reputation for being too strict on filtering TOR users?
I definitely wasn't thinking of the Tor thing. Maybe I was just overestimating how common it was. Looking again, the only sites I can find that Cloudflare evicted even though there was no risk of legal action were the Daily Stormer and 8chan.
