Dear Paypal, I have been with you since your beginning as a humble startup. You had some rough edges that needed polished, and some kinks that I've lived with. But I stayed with you throughout the years, the good times and the bad. Today, I realised that true side of you that I cannot ignore. A deal breaker that's too hard to swallow. I'm dissappointed by your decision against Wikileaks. I can no longer stand by you because of what you've become. You stand up for the corrupt, in doing so, you help slience the voices that needs to be heard. I would be more accepting of your actions if you treated 'illegal' groups equally. Why not ban KKK groups from accepting donations, or known sex offenders from using your site? How about pirating sites that accept donations? No court has ruled that Wikileaks has done anything illegal, how can you make a judgement because the government said so? Where is the justice in that? Sad to say, the US is runned by corporations, and you are a Billion++ dollar corp. You have more power than the goverment does. How are they able to influence your decisions this way? You can say no, and they can't touch you. How is the US government different from China's communism 20-30 years ago if you let this happen? You let this happen now, and tomorrow the government will secretly let another company consume you. Just like they did with the banks behind closed doors. (ie, Wachovia/Wells Fargo, WaMu/Chase) Today, we shall depart from each other forever.
