Please don't blame PayPal that much. If you have been in their situation, you'll very likely do the same. So if you have any issues, go and blame the US gov.
er, no. I blame PayPal fully.
Huge marketing opportunity for WePay! (and also a huge opportunity to do the right thing)
How will WePay as a US company offer any real guarantee not to do the same?
Can WePay make any commitment or guarantee given that they are integrated into a system and other entities (i.e. Visa, Mastercard, etc) could pull their plug over this?
I'm really just curious. If WePay honestly will do the right thing and treat money as money regardless of how people choose to spend it (the whole thing here... porn, politics, etc) and to do so with a real guarantee that means this can never happen, then I just do not see how this is any opportunity for them.
Paypal also took the account of the Wau Holland Stiftung because they collect money for wikileaks. PayPal told us we are "in violation of PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy regarding (...) financial support to Wikileaks" and took our account. http://twitter.com/#!/wauland/status/10987193778569216
Paypal is a company doing business and I dislike them as much as you do but please don't forget that Government >> Company. Always.
Since when can what Wikileaks does be considered criminal activity? I'd think that it's at least not clear cut enough that companies would wait for some kind of conviction before labeling it all illegal/criminal activity.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
er, no. I blame PayPal fully.
While PayPal deserves the negative rep for screwing their customers, it doesn't deserve it for being a US corporation, vulnerable to the US government. The bad guy here is not PayPal.
