1. Cambios en la Política de Privacidad y el Temor al Doxing.
Los usuarios expresan su inquietud ante los cambios en las políticas de PayPal que podrían exponer su información personal, como nombres reales y direcciones, a terceros, lo que aumenta el riesgo de doxing.
- "paypal is choosing to dox you by forcing you to put your full legal name on invoices with no way to opt out of that for shits and giggles even if you have a business account so. You all know the drill. You dont know, you didnt see it.".
- "attn artists who use paypal they are updating their tos so you cant hide your full name, address and email from clients anymore on invoices. This sucks very bad for us artists who do not wish to dox ourselves with every invoice. I dont know any alternative just wanted to share".
- "streamersmake sure to check your paypal settings, theyre changing invoices to show all your personal info including your address so if you havent gone to invoices and changed your business info to keep yourself safe, go do it now!! here is how to do it".
2. El Uso de Cuentas de Negocio como Solución de Privacidad.
Muchos usuarios recurren a las cuentas de negocio de PayPal como una forma de proteger su privacidad, ya que estas permiten mostrar un nombre comercial en lugar del nombre real en las transacciones.
- "it looks like paypals invoices will not show your name as long as you have a business name added to your account.".
- "btw dont tell anyone i told u this but if u set up ur paypal as a business account u can just set the business name to ur name so bitches dont see ur deadname".
- "a workaround is to create a paypal business account. Instead of showing the full name itll show your business name".
3. Dificultades para Cambiar Nombres y la Persistencia de 'Deadnames'.
Los usuarios transgénero enfrentan desafíos particulares al intentar cambiar sus nombres en PayPal, a menudo quedando atrapados con sus 'deadnames' (nombres anteriores) visibles en las transacciones.
- "god fuck why does paypal show my dead name when i comm someone its so fucking awful comming someone and they see the most masculine name ever even though im trans. I fucking hate it, i want my name changed so baad fuck".
- "im new to paypal and i think i messed up because in testing it out with a friend my full dead name and my address was visible and i havent been able to figure out how to fix that i think its because my account is set as personal and not a business account and i cant change it oops".
- "might look into alternative pay methods for commissions changed my name on paypal as my preferred name is my legal name now, sent in the docs, got it through.and paypal changed it back to my deadname".
4. Alternativas a PayPal y Estrategias de Ocultación de Información.
Ante las preocupaciones de privacidad, los usuarios exploran alternativas a PayPal y comparten estrategias para ocultar su información personal en la plataforma.
- "guys, double check your settings when this change goes live. You should still be able to hide your address and number. Looking into alternatives would be nice, but also keep in mind some people can only use paypal. And remember, i dont see your real name and you dont see mine.".
- "if youre using paypal and sending invoices, you should be able to opt in the invoice settings to not include your actual name, address, email, and phone number iirc? mine is just set up so its my business name and i think email only showing! could be something to look up!".
- "there should be some kind of alternative to paypal where you dont constantly have do this shit random people who send me money should not have to see my personal information, especially if its out-of-date i legally changed my name, but paypal still sometimes refers to me by my old deadname??".
5. La Importancia de Revisar la Configuración de Privacidad.
Se enfatiza la necesidad de que los usuarios revisen y ajusten su configuración de privacidad en PayPal para proteger su información personal y evitar la exposición no deseada.
- "im seeing a lot of confusion around the new paypal stuff including what concerns business accounts so to clarify you can still hide your information from the recipient, including your address full name make sure to double review your settings before feb. 1st and youre good".
- "reminder regarding the new paypal tos for businesses you can still choose to hide your relevant information like address and name, you just need to review your invoicing settings. Dont fall for yet another scared bandwagon".
- "for anyone using paypal, even as non-business, to occasionally sell stuff or receive money. I strongly recommend visiting the invoicing settings to avoid accidentally getting doxxed. Since 1st of february today it by default includes your address information.".
