Wikileaks lost the main source of financial income
Yes, PayPal has once again blocked the account Wikileaks in its electronic payment system. Earlier this happened already twice, the last one - at the beginning of this year, if I am not mistaken, then in January. The past two cases ended well for Wikileaks, the accounts were unlocked. Now it seems that this organization has ordered the way to PayPal. There is simply no more convenient way to collect donations for sites like Wikileaks - a resident of any country who sympathizes with the project could have previously transferred a certain amount of money to a PayPal account. Now, donations will be much more difficult to accept (and send, by the way).
It is worth noting that for Wikileaks difficult times started in general - despite the fact that the project has a lot of sympathizers, everything is not in favor of the truth-seekers. At first, the project was declared the terrorist organization number one, in the USA, at least, then against Essenge, the project manager, they started a rape case, this is already in Sweden. After a DDoS attack on the resource was made, Amazon refused to host the service, EveryDNS canceled the delegation of the wikileaks.org domain, and now, as you can see, Wikileaks can simply run out of money needed to pay for hosting (and, perhaps, informants) .
The blocking of the Wikileaks account in PayPal happened today, and in the morning, those who wanted to send money to Wikileaks in PayPal saw the message "The recipient is temporarily unable to accept money." In its official blog, PayPal announced that the organization’s account was blocked for the simple reason that Wikileaks violated the internal rules of the service. According to these rules, PayPal does not work with organizations and individuals who commit unlawful acts. Since Wikileaks is already outlawed in the US, PayPal, as a law-abiding company, cannot go against the law.

In the official Wikileaks account on Twitter, a message appeared confirming that your account was locked in PayPal. It was reported that "PayPal blocked Wikileaks under pressure from the US authorities." After blocking your PayPal account, Wikileaks offers to transfer money by debiting funds from credit cards in favor of a partner of an organization operating in Switzerland, bank transfers to Germany, Iceland and Switzerland, there are Wikileaks accounts in banks of these countries.
Earlier it was reported that about 750 thousand euros ($ 1 million) were raised in favor of the project, which is enough to ensure the normal operation of the project, including hosting and so on. Let's hope that locking an account with PayPal doesn’t hurt Wikileaks much.
