(AP) SAN JOSE A Web site for gay men has sued PayPal, claiming the online payment service refused to process transactions for the site after discovering adult content.
New Orleans-based CFS.com sued Friday in Santa Clara County Superior Court. The lawsuit claims San Jose-based PayPal stopped processing charitable donations the site was collecting for Hurricane Katrina victims because the site engaged in "the sale of adult, sexually oriented or obscene materials or services."
The company said the purpose of the site is to "entertain gay men," said founder Keith Griffith. "It's a resource for any guy who wants to figure out how to hook up with another man," he said.
PayPal spokeswoman Sara Bettencourt said the company has strict guidelines prohibiting use on adult-themed Web sites. PayPal stopped service when it discovered the company was using PayPal logos on Web pages that advertised "adult services," she said.
