Uh, so it's okay for the US to wink wink at Amazon, Paypal and numerous other financial payment providers when Wikileaks comes to play?

You sound like a true apologist. This stuff matters, it affects people's lives, and it it has NOTHING to do with ROI. That's a bunch of BS.

This has to do with favors and stancing and has absolutely nothing to do with profitability or providing a service.

I'll show myself the door when I hear about how many chargebacks the VPN was getting.

You're conflating 2 unrelated issues here. It's not okay for the United States government to request (secretly) for a private enterprise to engage in acts that are detrimental to an individual or business because the United States is unable to do anything themselves within the law, however I don't see how the action taken against Wikileaks has any relevance to the action taken against this business. What indication is there that the US requested this?
