PayPal cuts WikiLeaks from money flow
Online payment service PayPal has suspended the WikiLeaks' account that the organization used to collect donations, it said in a statement.
U.S.-based PayPal said WikiLeaks, which this week released thousands of secret U.S. diplomatic cables, had violated its policy.
"PayPal has permanently restricted the account used by WikiLeaks due to a violation of the PayPal 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," the statement said.
