PayPal shuts down Mega's account, kills its payment processing
|
|
The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 28 February, 2015
Succumbing to political pressures, PayPal has shut down the account of Kim Dotcom's Mega file sharing service.
Reportedly, the pressure came from U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, who was a proponent of SOPA and went directly to Visa and MasterCard who then pressured PayPal.
The move is a huge blow to Mega's business, as PayPal was handling payment processing for the site and its users.

Now with that said it does show how BS (corrupted) the US has gotten and shows we are no better than the rest of the world like we were not too long ago. So much for freedom! Embrace Socialism, next step Communism or other dictatorship.
This administration is the all time worst! Which is more than probable the reason you hate the US, lets hope, or it could be what we use to stand for Freedom which scares a good Socialist.
But does it really matter anyway? LOL
So you are claiming that the US was:

You pretentious asshole.
If it were not for the US' illegal, unethical, unChristian and downright WRONG exploitation of the black slaves your dumb country would never have become the most God-awful place on the planet anyway.
The best thing to come out of America is the plane to the UK.
Shut the h*ll up, FAGMAN69

it was there own tribes that sold "Black Flesh" to the whiteman. when your own tribes barter you like cattle and your OK with it...expect to get treated like cattle.
Coincidentally the United States learned there mistake while others countries like china still use forced labor.
oh and as for the UK, they used black slaves to harvest there
sugar cane. UK was smart about it though, they dropped of there purchased property on islands told them what they expected, left a poultry amount of rashons then sailed off. you really don't want to know what Britannia did to those slaves that failed to produce a harvest.

I don't mean to be a goat, but it sure would be nice
if we were back on topic.
Perhaps there isn't much to talk about with this news,
but it relates to the fact that someone at the top
wants to control what we see say and do on the internet.
And those at the top will do every dirty trick to
seize full control of the internet and take away
our freedom to share data and information...

Please excuse me but my forefathers died to free the slaves and correct the wrong doings. However if you want to hold great great grand children responsible for there doings lets just take a look at your fair country. I throw back at you the witch hunts and burning at the stake. It must have been your fault. Along with the plague and the dark ages. So there smarty pants. Now gain some respect and use that thing on your shoulders for more then a hat rack.

While I tend to agree that this is a bullshit move and reeks of cronyism, I have to take issue with the anti-US bent to some of the comments in this thread.
Simply put, if you don't want the US telling you what to do, then start your own fucking PayPal and do whatever the hell you want.
Oh, Im sorry... Did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?

I'm sorry guys, my bad. I shouldn't proudly defend the country I live in. The country I love. I should be a hypocrite, like a few of these other ass holes on here, who piss and moan about all that is wrong in America....NOT! If you don't love this country, and wouldn't give your last drop of blood like I would (and have) to give my family all that America has to offer, then GET THE HELL OUT AND GO BACK TO WHATEVER ROCK YOU CRAWLED OUT FROM UNDER. oh...that's right....most other countries would shoot you in the face for saying half the crap you do...as for me and mine, we are All In and All American-good, bad or otherwise.

My salutes to you, brother. Veteran here, although just a former E4 service member.
I just don't understand how a topic about Mega's account
being shut out of PayPal suddenly became a podium for
Anti-American hatred.
I don't always agree with the politics of my country, but I was
still born and raised here, and I had also served my country
with three years of military service.
I use the internet and the torrent systems as much as anyone
else here does. So, at least we all share that in common.
When someone hates on my country, they're also hating
on Me as a fellow internet user.
When corporations start to control Who and Who Can't use
their online services, that is just a tip of the iceberg.
We have not yet seen nor felt the full effects of
internet censorship in its cruelest most silencing form,
and we're already bickering about America This That and
Whatever, concerning the issue of internet freedom.
We forget that America isn't the only government involved
in this sort of control for the internet; many other countries
are also flexing their legal muscles about the internet as well.
Perhaps we can't just see the forest for the trees,
but if we ignore the bigger picture it will be overwhelming
later on and by then it would be too late to react about it.
All I merely ask is that we think critically and target
our anger at the real culprits where it is due.
That is all.

We have a president who has negated our efforts in Iraq and now the middle east and he has taken many more of our freedoms away well over any other president ever. Personally I'd be damn pissed that we lost good people and left many lame for life and for nothing. And this dip shit still continues to F-us-up even more and this net control is the latest BS.

The problem with the US is that it is a government run by big businesses which cares only about profits and not the unfortunate families who have lost members in the useless wars the USA has gotten in.. Wherever the USA goes , trouble follows.. as war merchants try to sell more arms; look at Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq and now the Asia pacific.. The government is dominated by hawks and foreign lobbies.. what a sad day for a great country.

If we can have back the America that had a thriving middle class and cared about the poor, disabled and elderly.
If we can have back the America that liberated Europe from Nazi Germany then I'd be content.
Patriotism doesn't involve just waving a flag but standing up for the beliefs which a nation is founded on.......Especially when a government has seemingly forgotten these principles.

Well the US has pulled your limey asses out of the fire on more than one occasion as we have done for most of europe if it wasnt for us you would be German citizens right now screaming HEIL HEIL. You are an arrogant as well as ignorant ass hat.
