Google searches for "delete PayPal" and "cancel PayPal" soared by nearly 1,400% after a new policy announcement caused a major uproar online.
The e-finance giant said that it was going to fine users over €2,500 for making false claims online about the company. Plans for the policy were instantly met with a huge backlash as searches for deleting and cancelling PayPal jumped by 1,392% on Google.
However, the new policy, which was supposed to come into effect on November 3, has since been retracted. A spokesperson for the company said: "PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy."
