In this era of censorship and creeping authoritarianism, many internet-based companies have deemed it reasonable to destroy the livelihoods of people offering a non-mainstream view. Alarmingly, Paypal have started removing people from its service for political reasons. Although I don't think my own work is problematic because I write about evergreen topics and not current events, many independent journalists who I respect are being targeted. If possible, I would like to stand with them and find an alternative to Paypal. Are HubPages (or its parent company) able to offer an alternative now or in the future? Given the worsening situation, an alternative may become even more necessary with time.
Thomas, can you give us some examples of the types of "service" PayPal has removed from its service? I have not heard anything about this, but I'd love for you to qualify your statement.
I use PayPal, where offered, when I shop online because it's more secure than using a debit or credit card.
Again, please clarify your statement.
Paypal is removing anti-war, left-wing voices. Jimmy Dore reported on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrTbIgpGr_M
Yes, hubpages is Father Paypal. Only once it uses AdSense, and withdraw it three years ago.
Miebakagh, AdSense was never a means of payment, just a means of earning on HP. Payout has always been made via PayPal.
brave, thanks for correcting me. Oh, my memory!
Your memory is okay. Adsense paid out separately directly to our bank accounts. Nothing to do with Paypal.
Yes, and thanks. But I only only use AdSense on hubpages when I began writing to earn. No any other.

Paypal is becoming problematic these days. I would be happy if HubPages would consider offering alternative payment methods other than paypal also. I am sure that there are many like me who would be happy if we get to choose from other payment modes also.

I'm getting tired of seeing that I've earned a little money (okay, very little money) every month, being told that I do have an Adsense account AND my Hubpages posts are linked to Paypal, yet I don't get any deposits.I thought for sure I'd find an answer to this issue in the forums, but I haven't...

I had earning a long time ago but, somehow, they disappeared. I am a computer dummie so I gave up trying to figure out how to get it back. The first two times were very difficult and twice is quite enough -- so I have no account and I no longer make a dime (I did get two payments over the years,...

Hello everyone. I have activated my Google AdSense account and also linked it to my hubpages acconut. But still nothing is to be shown in my earnings. Should we have a PayPal account to activate the earnings program? Or only AdSense account is enough.

My wife was a writer on Hubpages for over 2 years and she passed away in 2011. She has quite a following and people write comments several times per week on her hubs, which I do moderate and publish. In order to make a decision, I am not going to name her but I wanted to ask your opinions. ...
