Title: PayPal [..] Reimagining How Money Moves to Anyone, Anywhere.

Text: PayPal users in the U.S. can begin [..] today, with international expansion [..] starting later this month.

So immediately out of the box it is exactly NOT for "anyone" and NOT "anywhere".

This is contagious: a couple of years ago Gnosis tried to launch their Gnosis Card[1] on Berlin DappCon with the exact same slogan: "Anyone, anywhere" while only accepting applications from a select group of people living in select EU countries.

I have had discussion with their CEO right there regarding this marketingspeak but he did not seem to grasp what's the problem at all here.

You can't make this shit up.
