Facebook allowed payment fraud

Facebook allowed payment fraud

It's hard to find a good payment platform these days.

According to a Gizmodo story, Facebook allowed kids to rack up huge charges on their parents' credit cards while playing games that were supposed to be free. Parents would request refunds, and Facebook would reject them. Apparently Facebook was making too much money to play nice:

Newly unsealed court documents show that Facebook was aware that underage children routinely used their parents’ payment information to spend large sums of money on in-game purchases, and the company chose not to fix the problem. For years, it allowed for what it called “friendly fraud” because it feared implementing protections would harm revenue, according to the documents.

In 2016, Facebook settled a class-action lawsuit brought by parents of children who were tricked into unwittingly making purchases with real money while playing free video games hosted on the social media platform.

How does this impact firearm payments?

While Facebook offers peer-to-peer payments, it prohibits paying for firearms (and posting them for sale). In fact, all payment platforms prohibit gun-related transactions, including PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle. The safest, easiest payments are with GunTab. It's free to open an account, try it now.
