Looks like @venmo is back to blocking transactions that involve Muslims- I can't send any $ because of internal flagging. When I ask what @VenmoSupport has no answer. I asked is part of its past discrimination against Muslims I'm told we can't answer. #VenmoingWhileMuslim
NEW: @truthout reports that—following our #VenmoingWhileMuslim campaign from last year & other investigations—@venmo faces a legal complaint for targeting transactions on the basis of religion & ethnicity. Shoutout to @CAIRNewYork for their work!

😡 This is deeply distrurbing.
Meanwhile, @Venmo isn't flagging words associated white nationalism & hate groups like "KKK" & "Nazis". The word "Persian" is an ethnicity, culture, & delicious cuisine. Not a flag for concern! #PersianShenanigans

Thanks to @venmo's opaque policies, Muslim, Iranian, and other users have to worry about being criminalized for something as simple as paying a friend back for a meal. Venmo: Fix your filters! #VenmoingWhileMuslim #PersianShenanigans https://t.co/AOaSlJjxwA
👇THREAD: @Venmo flags transactions with words like "Persian" but white nationalist and hate terms like "KKK" go through just fine 🤔 #VenmoingWhileMuslim #PersianShenanigans

That's why we're calling on @venmo to address this discriminatory practice and apparent double standard by committing to a public audit of their algorithms and filtering policies, with input from directly-impacted community groups. #VenmoingWhileMuslim #PersianShenanigans
It's clear that @venmo's policies are being applied unevenly, in a way that's impacting Muslims and folks from Muslim-majority countries like Iran. But what isn't clear is the internal policies and algorithms that are causing this impact. #VenmoingWhileMuslim #PersianShenanigans
If these phrases don’t set off any alarms, then white supremacists and Nazis can freely use the system, which could mean @venmo is potentially complicit in providing a fundraising platform for violent hate groups #VenmoingWhileMuslim #PersianShenanigans
.@newsweek also tested the terms “Heil Hitler” and “Supporting Nazis in Europe” to inquire “whether the app would flag payments that were not related to sanctions but could raise concerns.” #VenmoingWhileMuslim #PersianShenanigans https://t.co/rQ8rHG2OgX
We were shocked to find that terms including "KKK" and "cocaine" did not result in a single flag—even though they clearly violate PayPal's user agreements (the platform "may not be used to promote hate, violence, or illegal activity"). #VenmoingWhileMuslim #PersianShenanigans
Meanwhile, Venmo is *not* flagging words associated with white nationalism and hate violence. We tested other word variations, to see if they would set off Venmo's internal filters. #VenmoingWhileMuslim #PersianShenanigans
Demanding accountability and action @venmo your current regulations are harmful and biased.

#VenmoingWhileMuslim
.@venmo accounts can only be set up by people with U.S. bank accounts, making it extremely difficult for a transaction to violate sanctions, as people in Iran would struggle to set up an account to begin with, let alone receive/send funds. #VenmoingWhileMuslim #PersianShenanigans
Due to U.S. sanctions on countries like Iran, @venmo is legally required to observe certain regulations. But there's no justification for a blanket ban on words like "Persian," which is an ethnicity, a language, & a culture that has existed for millennia. #VenmoingWhileMuslim
By flagging terms like “Persian,” @venmo is criminalizing an identity from a Muslim-majority country. In our already Islamophobic political environment, folks now have to worry about something like paying a friend back for a meal. #VenmoingWhileMuslim #PersianShenanigans
