[Amazon] said Wikileaks violated their terms of service which is no doubt technically true It's technically wrong since leaked documents, like the Pentagon Papers, are in the public domain, so WikiLeaks does have the right to publish them

When confronted with the situation, neutrality isn't possible: you either stand up for your users or you help the Government to censor. There's only so much you can avoid taking sides on.

Most of the people at Anonymous run the DOS attacks on their own computers, not through botnets. I'm sure there are some script kiddies with botnets there, but I don't think the average Anonymous/4Chan member has one.

Good post but sadly the title isn't very informative. I'd change it to, e.g. "Twitter response to allegations on censoring #WikiLeaks in trends"

Failing to stand up for some principle? Probably. But unethical? Do you doublethink so?

Good point. The problem with this is that this is exactly the reason why the Government is using companies as proxies for suppressing freedom, because it leaves nobody to blame: (1) the Government didn't really forbid donations to WikiLeak

They is obviously the Government, but with the help of unethical companies: AT&T for taping the Internet, Amazon/Paypal/Visa/Mastercard for suppressing free press, etc.

At what point is it OK to use a DDOS attack as a form of protest? I mean, do we have to wait until they grope us at checkpoints? Checked. Until they take websites down without trial? Checked. Until they start accusing journalist of espion

Yes, but in this case it's true that the page violated the TOS. Just reading the text in the linked image makes it pretty obvious.

The title is anything but descriptive ("WikiLeaks - MasterCard Website" at the moment of writing).

Thanks. I updated the title.

Are you aware that the US Government wants to accuse him Assange of treason and espionage. I think the reason they haven't formally done it yet is because they are waiting for him to be extradited to Sweden first.

There are plenty examples of corruption in the cables, but most of them are about other countries, not the US. But still, some examples: - The US spied on the UN, including credit card numbers and frequent flying numbers of its leaders. -
