It was restricted, and Wikileaks can't take donations directly via PayPal anymore. Hardly a problem, since several other organizations take donations to Wikileaks. No funds are confiscated in any country or bank, as far as public information goes anyway. None of the newspapers publishing the leaks in full have gotten their bank accounts frozen either. Their operation is perfectly legal in every country with free speech. This is nothing but a publicity stunt for PayPal, and it would be a better publicity stunt for the Bitcoin community to to the opposite.<br/><br/>-1. I think you are overreacting.<br/></div><br/>This is not true. When PayPal shuts down your account, they TAKE and KEEP all of the money in it. There is no refund. Never. Never. Their email tells you that "there is no process to appeal". PayPay is owned by eBay. ....and the "e" in eBay stands for "evil". Google "PayPay" it if you don't believe me.<br/><br/>Also, leaking military secrets can be considered treason and is a very serious crime in most countries. Free Speech always has legal limits.<br/></div> text/html
