Say I run a UFO spotting website with 300 posts on UFOs. I have a steady stream of revenue of $5,000 per month from subscribers and use PayPal to collect payments; have been for a decade.

If paypal labels my website and all its posts as misinformation, given the terms as I understand them I could instantly have $750,000 frozen or withdrawn from my PayPal (and bank account? - unclear). That's 300 posts x $2,500 minimum fine.
