A set of people you say? Sorry, our policy does not allow x-smiths to use this service.
My surname designates a bag of people.
When you replace “Smith” with “ISIS” or “Bin Laden” that’s likely not enough of an explanation for them to lift the freeze.
Why is this included in the logic in the first place? Are terrorists sending payments via PayPal and including "ISIS membership fee, annual renewal" in the comments? It would seem to me that a keyword search like this is not an effective way to stop the flow of funds to sanctioned organizations. It's like scanning cancelled checks for the word "bribe" on the memo line.
"Yes, hello, I'd like to renew my subscription to Terrorist Weekly. Oh, you take Venmo? Great!"
On the other hand, if they did it would be very embarrassing for PayPal.
