It is unfortunate for Paypal users who will experience some difficulties, and heaven forbid Twitter users won't be able to tell others when and where they are shitting, but this will pass and everyone will survive.
I hope they knock the shit out of any company who is trying to sweep the leg of Wikileaks.  |
I am also glad they are around and have the balls to do stuff like that.
I would say though, that there may be more productive to undermine the anti-liberty efforts of paypal and twitter.
For Paypal, I would establish a coalition of paypal users who begin charging a "wikileaks tax" of say a few cents to a dollar on all paypal transactions to be donated to wikileaks, so that paypal is forced to support wikileaks anyway.
For Twitter it might be amusing to come up with alternate hash tags on a rotating basis to be attached to wikileaks comments, or even cordinate the use of an already established and trending hash tag, so as to make the twitter hash tags useless in response to their censorship.
