In particular I have noted an openly neo-nazi white supremacist organisation being funded through your services. Do you have any policy on this matter?

Liberapay is neutral, meaning that we only kick out users if we are required to do so by a law or contract (article 10 of the bylaws), we're still not sure if we have such an obligation regarding the user you're referring to (see our investigation in liberapay/liberapay.org#11).

Thank you for clarifying your position. I understand it is a matter of principle and I respect that, however, I would urge you strongly to reconsider your position on such clear cut cases of racial hatred - not only for the good of humanity but also to protect yourself from legal ramifications. Kind regards.

Time to close this, the user has been banned by our payment processor a while back, and there's a proposal to change our terms in liberapay/liberapay.org#12 (comment).
