Fuck PayPal
Filed under: paypalToday I closed my PayPal and eBay accounts. This will inconvenience me to some extent, but I think it's important to vote with your money and your support when companies make really bad decisions. PayPal has a history of closing accounts that generate controversy, but this time they closed an account that I feel is far to important to our democracy and government transparency in general.
I do have to admit that I got a small amount of satisfaction out of my reason for closing my account: Wikileaks, motherfuckers.







Be careful with investing too much emotion into Assange. I'm all for giving "the man" the middle finger (and I'm apolitical when it comes to that- I hate them all). But sometimes what seems to be a hero is really just another assclown taking advantage of legitimate frustration.
All I'm saying is that I don't trust that motherfucker.
