Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and Amazon all cut off WikiLeaks using the excuse they were engaged in illegal activity, thus violating their terms of agreement.

Yet in all this time the only criminal charge Assange is facing is an obviously trumped-up rape charge, the timing of which could not possibly be a coincidence. Not a single charge is pending against Assange or anyone at WikiLeaks in connection with the release of these diplomatic cables or anything else they've released. So, where's this criminal activity that violated their contracts? A business can't accuse someone of using their services in support of criminal activity when no charges have been filed nor have any even been discussed.

Can't anyone see how dangerous this is for all of us? Now you don't even have to be charged with a crime to be a criminal. If it can happen to him it could happen to any of us who do or say something those in power don't want others to know about.
