"PayPal has frozen WikiLeaks’ account in the latest action against the whistleblower website, which has been posting leaked US embassy cables online.
The decision by the online payment site – which WikiLeaks had used to raise funds for web hosting and other costs – has been announced with a posting on PayPal’s blog.
PayPal, owned by the auction website eBay, said the account had been frozen because it was being used for “illegal” activity."
