[quote]US-based online payment service PayPal has decided to block financial transfers to WikiLeaks after governments around the world initiated legal action against the whistleblower website. "PayPal has permanently restricted the account used by WikiLeaks due to a violation of the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, which states that our payment service cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity," PayPal said in a statement released late on Friday. "We've notified the account holder of this action," the statement said. Over the past several days, WikiLeaks has begun publishing the first of 250,000 US diplomatic cables, creating an international firestorm as American diplomats' private assessments of foreign leaders and politics has been publicly aired. The release was the third major publication of secret US files by WikiLeaks this year, after the whistleblower website published tens of thousands of American military files from the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. The United States and other governments said the release of the documents were against their laws.[/quote] [url=http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/paypal-blocks-illegal-wikileaks-account/story-e6frfku0-1225965724024]Source[/url] What a horrible week for Wikileaks :(

People are really trying to bring him down.
The only "illegal" activity that the U.S. has actually been able to pin on Assange is "suprise sex". (Apparently that's enough for an international arrest warrant, too.)
Wikileaks cant catch a break can they.
Governments can make anything illegal.
This makes me want to donate now. Wikileaks are just getting shit on lately.
I'm pretty sure only the US and Sweden governments are mad face at Wikileaks right now and not the rest of the world.
Anyone mind uploading the insurance file, since wikileaks is down I can't get it.
What is the insurance file? What's inside it?
Well PayPal locks and limits any account with no reason at all so it's not much of a surprise.
NO! Bad government! Take your punishment like a good child! Honestly, governments just don't know when to take their punishments... They're filthy little cowards, the lot of them. Though I doubt thousands of angry people sending them loads of angry emails telling them to just accept their wrongdoings would do anything other than result in the mass arrest of thousands of people.

[QUOTE=Gripen2;26481476]What is the insurance file? What's inside it?[/QUOTE] The insurance file is supposed to contain every single document. It's got a AES256 encryption though which is pretty much uncrackable. The password is said to be released when Assange gets arrested.
