On 15 April 2016, South Front was notified by PayPal that unless they provided more data, the project's account would be suspended on 15 May 2016.[9] Despite being in contact with them, PayPal had not replied for days, until the suspension was nearing.[10] By 19 May 2016, PayPal blocked South Front's account, complicating the process of donations.[11] Following two months of uncertainty with 34 days of the account being restricted and 15 days being blocked, PayPal restored South Front's account on 6 June 2016.[12] The reason was because of South Front's 20 different appeals, and the readers' 100+ appeals on returning the account.[12]
