[OT] Debian Users: Please boycott Paypal



PayPal has suspended/cancelled the donations account of the Freenet
Project:

http://freenet.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=index&mode=developer

These corportate stinkers are liars and thieves.  They have agreed to
send a check to cover an outstanding balance, but everything else
presumably gets gobbled up somewhere.

Liars: the flimsy "reason" they give for freezing Freenet's donations
account is "use of an anonymous proxy."  This is bullshit.  The Freenet
project's Ian Clarke has never used any such tool to access the Paypal
account, and presumably nobody else had access to the account.  So where
was the use of an anonymous proxy?  Perhaps, because he worked on an
anonymising tool, the charge is "anonymous proxy by proxy!"

The numbers for certain Paypal contacts are on the linked page above. 
Please call to express your disgust.

Please help boycott Paypal and spread the word over the 'net.  Let's
show Paypal that when they screw with the good netizens of the World,
the mighty hand of a million users slaps them back!

Thankyou.
James Buchanan
