WikiLeaks Continues To Fund Itself Via Flattr

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the money-finds-a-way dept.

novenator writes "Since the corporations MasterCard, PayPal, and Visa have been trying to shut down the cash flow to the Wikileaks project, those who wish to donate have been having trouble finding a way to help out. The social media/micropayment site Flattr (run from Sweden) continues to leave the channels open."

    And don't give me this "Freedom of speech" bull. Mastercard, Visa, PayPal, Amazon and many others who got DDOS'ed have the freedom of speech to shut down their services to anyone they choose to. After all, they are not the government corporation.

      mastercard and visa are more entwined in the treasury department and process more USD transactions than any other government corporation.

      there are also a slew of anti-trust issues you're conveniently and hypocritically ignoring.

      time to close your life account... you're an idiot.

      I would like to choose to respond to your assertion about USD transactions and your ignoring the fact that every single bank and financial institution do government transactions all over the world for every single government including the two biggest credit companies but never mind. Instead I would like to put a mirror against your face to show how much of a stupid idiot you actually are after the following trolling quotes:

      time to close your life account... you're an idiot.

      my address is 4513 brittany ct. eau claire, wi. 54701. my house is solid. your house is??? why do you cower? what are you afraid of? you're completely pathetic. ur mum's face choose to have Down's Syndrome. you're an idiot.

      you are NOTHING. cower behind your chosen pseudonym some more, feeb. you're completely pathetic.

      You know, there are two types of attitudes in the world. There are those who believe that in order to make oneself happy one has to make others happy as well. And the other attitude is of course, in order to make oneself feel happy one has to make others feel bad. Quite vampiric attitude, actually. And since your attitude obviously belongs to the second category I would wholeheartedly urge you to see a shrink as soon as possible because it is a self-destructive path that you are on, and you seriously in need of some anti-depressant medications.

    Sounds more like the Assange's legal fund. And personal profit fund.

    No, I am neither a pedophile nor a terrorist. But it is true, I do hate puppies. Who told you that secret? Joking aside, it has been reported by the ex-employees and associates of Wikileaks that Assange intended to make millions of dollars per year based upon the blackmailing the organizations on whom he has "secrets" for the rights not to publish them. Seriously, in the past he said that he has secret Kremlin documents. Now that Putin has come out so harsh in his defence, wanna bet that we will never see them in the light of day?

    Slashdot has long stopped being a technology forum. Approximately half the articles on the front page right now are purely political and not just under YRO. There is a labor dispute story under Hardware section. People like to give their juvenile political opinions, that's where ad impressions are.
