WikiLeaks loses PayPal revenue service - CNN.com

WikiLeaks loses PayPal revenue service - CNN.com: "(CNN) -- WikiLeaks, beset by technical problems regarding its website and under fire from governments worldwide, has now lost a major revenue source.

Payment service provider PayPal cut WikiLeaks' online donation account Friday.

WikiLeaks violated its acceptable use policy, 'which states that our payment service cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity,' PayPal said in a statement.

WikiLeaks, which confirmed the change Saturday, said on its Twitter page that the action was based on U.S. pressure."
