Corporate giants who consider themselves important players in the Gangster Empire (such as PayPal, Amazon, VISA, and Mastercard) may have been intimidated by Joe Lieberman's fascist bully-boy tactics, but there are some companies who aren't afraid of such low-life threats. A couple of these are surprising.
1. Xipwire is a Philadelphia-based online payment company still welcoming and facilitating donations to Wikileaks.
2. Flattr is not a straight-ahead online payment company, but it is set up to help people contribute to any web site they like including Wikileaks.
3. Datacell, an Icelandic company which processes debit and credit card payments. They're pissed at VISA and Mastercard for screwing up their business.
4. OVH, the French data server Wikileaks moved to after getting kicked off Amazon.
5. Twitter, which Wikileaks relies on, appears safe for the site. They've been accused of blocking Wikileaks, but they deny it.
6. Facebook recently released a statement saying they have no intention of blocking the Wikileaks account, which has nearly 2 million fans. Kid Zuckerberg just scored some points with me!
Got this info from Alternet.
