First PayPal terminates BMEshop's account and seizes their money for half a year. Then it does the same to my personal and unrelated account. Then it terminates my ebay account (which has never even been used for anything questionable, and had a good feedback rating) because they don't like “people like us”. And now they've terminated Freenet's accounts as well.
Folks, goverment censorship is becoming less and less of an issue. We really, really need to worry about big online companies like PayPal and Google doing the government's dirty work. To give you another example, Google doesn't allow gun ads (or type gun terms in — note the strange lack of ads?), which I think is really messed up, especially when you consider the history of gun control…
The Germans took away the guns of the Jews in 1938. Gun control has nothing to do with public safety and never has. It's about taking power away from the lower classes, because guns — as we're seeing in Iraq right now — are the big equalizer. If a civilian population is armed, no army can overthrow them on their own territory short of catastrophic genocide.
