The most surprising thing to me was the fact that Wikileaks was using Paypal at all. It seems like Paypal is a terrible choice if you're doing something even slightly controversial.
Although I'm not sure what their other options would be.
- wladimir 16y agoThere are enough alternative payment system. They were probably 'testing' Paypal, just like they did with Amazon. Turns out another US company is unreliable.
- m0nastic 16y agoRight, but they had already had their Paypal account frozen in the past. Once they were able to resolve that, I fail to see how the first order of business wasn't "move all of our money out of that account and find an alternative payment processor".
