Visa and MasterCard stopped allowing its cardmembers to donate to WikiLeaks. Proving once and for all, if you’re an free-speech-loving-anarchist, choose American Express, Do More™.
As retaliation, WikiLeaks supporters organized through Facebook and Twitter and managed cause outages on both Visa's and MasterCard’s websites. Supporters rallied around the hashtags #WikiLeaks #Payback and #BattleStarGalactica
The Facebook and Twitter pages used to organize these attacks were both removed for violation of terms of service. The social network Friendster has offered a safe haven to WikiLeaks supporters saying, “Please, use our website to organize attacks on anyone you want, really we don't care, attack anyone. Even Facebook or Twitter. Seriously, we wouldn't mind at all if you took down those websites.”
