"Since 2007 we have been deliberately placing some of our servers in
jurisdictions that we suspected suffered a free speech deficit in
order to separate rhetoric from reality," Assange said on Friday
during a live chat on The Guardian's website. "Amazon was one of these
cases."
The paypal situation is likely similar. I bet that account which was
seized -- WITHOUT DUE PROCESS -- probably being continually simphoned
empty by wikileaks, therefore it can also demonstrate a 'due process
deficit'.
I'm sorry, but is my bet that a failure of due process which affects
you much more personally will eventually happen since you live there.
I am not attacking you in any way. But it is poor style to mock those
who, simply as a side effect, manage to demonstrate that the right of
law is not being followed.
