WikiLeaks tries to 1 million euros in donations to get through the Visa and MasterCard blockade to work through the French Carte Bleue. The klokkenluiderssite says within a few months without the funds to sit if there is not money quickly recovers.
The French civil rights movement Fonds de Défense de la Net Neutralité has created an account at the French – Carte Bleue to collect donations for WikiLeaks. Visa and MasterCard would be contractually bound to maintain the payment via Carte Bleue, and donations to WikiLeaks is therefore not able to block, claims WikiLeaks.
Betalingsinstanties as Visa, PayPal, MasterCard and Bank of America stopped their services to WikiLeaks in 2010, and made according to the site, ensures that over 95 percent of the donations, their goal is not reached. It would be for an amount of more than $ 20 million. The blockade followed on controversial publications about secret American diplomatic communications, and a video in which American soldiers, civilians and doc.
WikiLeaks is said to have internal on the reserves of the Wau Holland Foundation, which is thereby shrunk from 800,000 euros at the end of 2010 to less than 100,000 euros in June this year. “The reservetegoeden of WikiLeaks drying at the current pattern of expenditure within a few months,” says the site. WikiLeaks will, therefore, be a minimum of 1 million euro to collect.
The site calls as soon as possible as the workaround to use before the pass is cut off. That happened earlier at the Icelandic detour via payment provider Datacell. The right in Iceland, certain, however, that Visa is on its contractual obligations, and must keep the blockade for July 26, undo must make, on penalty of a fine of everyday of 800,000 Icelandic kroner, converted more than 5100 euro.
