I just read about Anonymous DDOS’ing Mastercard for blocking payments to Wikileaks. But how did Mastercard do anything wrong? Their policy states money cannot be sent to fund illegal activities. They’re not specifying what is illegal, the government does that. The fact is that what Wikileaks does is currently considered illegal. Should it be? Maybe not. That’s not the point. Currently, it’s illegal, and THAT is what Mastercard is reacting to. They don’t allow drug deals either. Yes, I agree that Wikileaks should be able to get money, but DDOS’ing a site simply for abiding by their policies isn’t right.

I heard wikileaks is upsetting the government with their info on top secrete stuff, which includes things that people would defiantly question. Though seeing how this was posted on Dec. 8 you probably already know the whole story
