I'm not from the US.
I hope you're right! The risk is quite high, since a lot of artists only accept payment via paypal. You're locked out of that entire market if you're banned.

Interesting. This does seem to be a common thread (the partial Paypal withdrawal from Steam was for a bank/banks handling more "obscure" currencies), and a bizarre one, as I would expect censorship pushes to be strongest in the US/Canada/EU, not some random smaller country. Then again, Paypal has historically had a very rocky relationship with any place outside the main western countries, so this may be another instance of that. Then again then again, you just said "not US", so maybe you ARE in the EU/UK. That might explain it as well.
