1. When you also get banned from Uber, Ubereats, PayPal, and Venmo 🙄

Right-wing activist and internet personality Laura Loomer was banned from UberEats in February 2019, shortly after she was banned from the payment platforms PayPal and Venmo. Her removal from UberEats was part of a larger series of bans from technology companies due to her history of anti-Muslim and hateful rhetoric.
Background on the ban
Initial Uber ban: Loomer's use of Uber and its related services was first revoked in November 2017. This occurred after she posted anti-Muslim remarks on Twitter in response to a terrorist attack in New York City.
Expansion to UberEats: The ban was later extended to include the company's food delivery service, UberEats, in 2019.
Violation of guidelines: An Uber spokesperson confirmed at the time that Loomer had been banned for violating the company's Community Guidelines. These guidelines require all users to treat others with respect and state that hateful conduct is prohibited.
