I'm not seeing that being meaningfully discussed nor am I seeing how WePay stepped in and solved that problem for Wikileaks because, iirc, they did no such thing. Why do you think they left a proper discussion of that out given it's clearly the most relevant example of what they're claiming to discuss?
