PayPal cuts Wikileaks access for donations
Found on BBC News on Friday, 03 December 2010
PayPal said its payment service cannot be used for activities "that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity".
In a statement, US-based PayPal said donations could no longer be made to Wikileaks because of "a violation of the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy"
I'm really surprised. Surprised that Paypal hasn't pulled the plug sooner. Or it just waited long enough until some cash accumulated in the account to make it a lucrative freeze. This shows once againt why it's really good not to have a Paypal account. I would never entrust my money to a company that wants to act like a bank but uses the first chance it gets to grab your money with dubious justifications. Not to mention all the ridiculously stupid demands to "verify" yourself after they did.
