"A major shit storm has begun" - Paypal & Twitter about to go down
 

It's hard to hate thy enemy when they do something you wish you could do yourself.

their own site doesnt load lol

They should get a political adviser. Going after PayPal, which millions and millions of people use and depend on, is not exactly going to bring more people into their cause. I would think the DoD or State Department would be more in line with what they are "trying to do."

Seems like a bunch of whiny babies really. This isn't sticking up for Freedom of Speech. This is simply acting out.

wikileaks mayor stuff

What will we do:helpme:Oh crap:helpme:Oh crap:rasta

Works for me http://anonops.net/

agreed...

Doesn't work here.

Doesn't work for me - maybe it's geo

I do applaud someone's right to be heard if they are against what the government is doing, but not sure paypal - twitter etc. will make a difference, now redirect profits from oil companies to March of Dimes, Save the Whales or have it evenly distributed through paypal for and to everyone who has an account would be awesome.

hoods up

very cool, what happens why they decide they don't like your job, who you're fucking, what you wear, what you watch on TV etc...?

Paypal got hit today as well as Mastercard by 4chan.

This is retarded. They plan to cost paypal some money, but fact is the transfers that were suppposed to be made while the site is down will just be made when it comes back up.

Can't believe I'm even attempting to defend them :1orglaugh but sometimes acting out is what's needed. I don't agree with them always doing shit and attacking, but in this case (for wikileaks) I agree with them. What is being done to censor Wikileaks is more criminal than the cables they are releasing. This is sticking up for free speech in their own twisted way, as it is the only way they know.

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. :2 cents:

Paypal sucks. But considering how they like to freeze peoples money and steal it, I am sure they have pretty solid DDOS protection. I use PayPal to unfortunately it is necessary at times, but I'd be happy to see it go offline.

It will still cost them some money. Tech Support, Support Tickets etc, some people will also use alternative payment methods. But yeah a lot will just pay later or be processed later but the inconvenience will get the point across.

I got to agree to a point! The shit were seeing happing to wikileaks is awful! For a country that is so free we sure fuck it up with the people we vote in office! Grrr Never understand why these fucks get in office! :disgust

Wow. I'm curios to see how it will turn out.

Paypal (Damm "Libertarians") and Twitter ("Not Facebook")... how convenient.

dosent work here either :error

Serious business

Seems kind of silly to go after Twitter when they are probably wikileaks most stable form of communication. http://twitter.com/wikileaks

PayPal on the other hand. Have at it...

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.

Oh come on. They aren't doing anything for rights or for the good of the people, they just want to fuck with everyone because they have a good excuse, LOL. Damn computer nerds.

I understand the plight of WikiLeaks and I believe in any freedom that they should be afforded. I also believe that any business has a right to do business with whoever they do or don't want to. Associating with WikiLeaks, as a business, is going to be very risky anyway you want to look at it. Being associated with WikiLeaks would put companies like PayPal and Amazon in jeopardy of being attacked and screwing up their whole network... even though that seems to be happening anyway, LOL. And that's just the technical side of things, what about upset stockholders and then bring in the politicians?

At the end of the day... if you fuck with the governments of virtually every country in the world, you aren't going to get too far.

Shit meets Fan.....Shit says, "May I hit you?" Fans replies, "sure"

PayPal works for me here in Michigan ???????????????

Merlin Mann just tweeted:

"Anatomically, I can't see much use in having 14 giant cocks. On the other hand, it'd be nice for Paypal to suck every one of them forever."

same here:thumbsup

Not loading up here in NY...

Let me swap into a European proxy see if that helps

:1orglaugh

Its only going to get them arrested. Maybe they will get to share a cell with the guy from wiki

Down for me

Just in case I took my money out of paypal. I only had like $300 there, but no sense in losing it

For the website I only get it after 2 or 3 attempts.

Well yeah. Obviously if you want to change the world, you should resort to terrorism. That can't go wrong at all. I mean, whats the worst that could happen... hahaha

I am really not sure why people engaged in a business based on online processing and people having disposable income would cheer a group of people who hope to bring global political instability and disrupt the online payment process. Seems like people who are engaged in orderly and legal commerce would generally oppose the anarchists who hope to bring down the "system" that gets you paid.

Let me explain. It is because some people, especially pornographers, feel that freedom of speech is kinda important. Therefore they oppose any government forcing sites to close, forcing the business associates of those sites to stop working with them etc. And they champion people who challenge the government's right to try and censor the internet.

HTH.
