PayPal finally cuts off WikiLeaks

The popular money-transfer site, PayPal, shut out the account used for fundraising by the notorious website, WikiLeaks.  PayPal posted the following, on their blog Friday.

"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. We've notified the account holder of this action."

The WikiLeaks site has been very controversial since it released more than 250,000 confidential U.S. documents.  Within the previous weeks, especially the past week, WikiLeaks has been trying to stay afloat as the U.S. government has made efforts to shut them down. 




Right now, WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, is in the process of being arrested due to non-WikiLeaks charges.  Since the site has been under heavy fire from the U.S. it has found new homes under the domain names, http://wikileaks.ch/, http://wikileaks.de, and wikileaks.fi.  Even though the majority of things WikiLeaks have posted are actually just embarassing, there are still some documents which could pose a threat to peoples lives.  Which, is the most controversial part of what they have done.
