Stripe is company that boots people off due to their political positions[0]. I would be very careful while doing business with them. A few bad news reports and you are gone[1].

Seems like a valid reason to ban someone from a platform. Reading further, Stripe was being used to collect money to make hundreds of frivolous lawsuits. (Legal definition thereof)

> 1: The latest payment platform to refuse to accept payments made to Loomer is Stripe.

Looks like Stripe is far the first company to do this. Reading between the lines, this person is specifically trying to get banned to prove a point. At some point, their history of doing so becomes the reason for kicking them off, rather than their political views.
