        @pierre As far as we are aware the PayPal blockade of WikiLeaks has never been lifted. No direct transactions to WL. You list 3rd parties.

        @wikileaks This may be a dumb question but have you tried to open a direct account since 2011?

        @pierre If the Paypal blockade has been secretly lifted, we'd like to know. We've been litigating the card companies http://wikileaks.org/MasterCard-breaks-ranks-in.html …

        @wikileaks If PayPal wanted to block you they would block third-party too as they did for several months in 2010-1. http://shop.wikileaks.org/donate#dpaypal

        Can you please just talk straight @pierre? Is the PayPal blockade of @wikileaks lifted? Yes or no? #paypal14

        @jaraparilla @wikileaks They were blocked by PayPal in Dec 2010 for several months. Then they weren't. Why the confusion?

        @carwinb @jaraparilla @wikileaks when their foundations that were blocked in 2010 became unblocked in 2011, they obviously noticed.

      @pierre The creation of the Free Press Foundation was in part to do just that - evade the PayPal blockade by being a third party.

        @pierre Appreciate some of the other comments but they are undermined by the central issue of the blockade being falsely presented.

      @pierre DDOS attacks give individuals too much power - but a million dollar media org owned by one individual is cool?

      @pierre What is this PayPal thing? Is it a little like #Bitcoin but with huge fees and limitations that makes eBay unnecessarily expensive?
