Update Jan 25 2010: Wikileaks is reporting that their paypal account has been re-enabled. Even so, PayPal has clearly drawn the line in the sand by attacking Wikileaks."Paypal has freed up our assets again -- thank you all for your support and solidarity. There is power in a union!"

Wikileaks is reporting that their paypal account has been frozen without cause for the second time. That means no money in, no money out, and paypal sitting on a cache of an unknown amount of money belongs to Wikileaks. Because PayPal is not legally considered a bank by US authorities, they can freeze accounts without cause. This only goes to further prove that we need to build infrastructures that we have control over. Letters of support encouraged to support{at}paypal.com. You can also email abuse{at}paypal.com as clearly this is somebody abusing the account freezing process.

This being said please donate to Wikileaks. They do not have enough money to cover their yearly budget of $600,000 and will continue to be offline until they have it. Considering the amount of material they've released and the way they've changed the playing field of journalism, this budget is extremely small. They have been down for almost all of January and need our help!
