Current Event ( Wiki Leaks )

     I have never seen such a dispute over a website than I have for WikiLeaks. Whether you are a support or not of WikiLeaks, there is no hiding the fact that WikiLeaks can potentially change the world as we know it. WikiLeaks is a website that calls its self defender of information freedom. It posts up secret information ranging from government policies to corporate policies. The point is that this website puts up information that is not meant for the public to read. Recently WikiLeaks has been playing Internet hopscotch jumping from site to site due to the fact that many other website have been closing the door to WikiLeaks. For example, WikiLeaks takes donations from its fans to keep the site up and running, but one form of its donations was closed down when PayPal closed their account. According to PayPal WikiLeaks does not obey their terms and policies.
     I personally think WikiLeaks has not broken and government rules and should fight actions such as PayPal's in court if necessary. We all have the right to freedom of speech so why cant a group of people create a website and do so. If the government has nothing to hide than this should not cause so much alarm, but the fact that WikiLeaks releases confidential articles about companies causes much uproar in America. The economy is something that no one nor website can interfere with and the government will do everything it needs to in order to halt WikiLeaks. This goes to show that money is the most important thing in America.
     WikiLeaks will go nowhere, due to the fact it has hundreds of mirror links. Hackers recently halted credit card transactions the other day and no one knows for sure if the reason was because of the heat brought upon WikiLeaks. But if these hackers can halt such an important aspect in Americas economy, what else can they do? Millions of people are screwed once they cant use their credit cards, so maybe we should all open our eyes and see that this website and maybe more to come mean business.
