It’s also an important part of our commitment to protect our customers and to ensure our business can continue operating around the world.

The account was again reviewed last week after the U.S. Department of State publicized a letter to WikiLeaks on November 27, stating that WikiLeaks may be in possession of documents that were provided in violation of U.S. law. PayPal was not contacted by any government organization in the U.S. or abroad. We restricted the account based on our Acceptable Use Policy review. Ultimately, our difficult decision was based on a belief that the WikiLeaks website was encouraging sources to release classified material, which is likely a violation of law by the source. While the account will remain restricted, PayPal will release all remaining funds in the account to the foundation that was raising funds for WikiLeaks. We understand that PayPal's decision has become part of a broader story involving political, legal and free speech debates surrounding WikiLeaks' activities.

Il problema di fondo (o meglio questione), e` che rilasciare su internet notizie presumibilmente veritiere e` in teoria lecito. In pratica quando la mole di informazioni e` tale e si vanno a toccare alcuni personaggi, viene deciso da qualcuno che non lo diventa piu`. Fra l'altro con una tecnica stile elefante, volendo forse dare un bell'esempio per gli emuli futuri, e confermando di fatto fonti passate e presenti di wikileaks. -- E.Richiardone VIC: VIC: Il giorno 09/dic/2010, alle ore 17.09, Masera Anna ha scritto: VIC: VIC: > VIC: >> il commento ufficiale di PayPal dal Blog ufficiale di PayPal: VIC: >>> https://www.thepaypalblog.com/ VIC: >>> VIC: >>> Updated Statement about WikiLeaks from PayPal General Counsel, John Muller VIC: >>> VIC: >>> Media reports today regarding a statement made by our vice president of platform, mobile and new ventures, Osama Bedier, at the LeWeb conference in Paris, have created confusion about PayPal's decision to permanently restrict the account that was raising funds for WikiLeaks.
