Paypal has a 25 page long TOS where they can freeze/terminate your account for any number of reasons. By using paypal you are agreeing to their TOS and they can terminate based on rules outlined there.
For example, in their TOS your account can be terminated for the simple act of requesting a chargeback from your back on an unauthorized transaction. Maybe one of Assange's donators initiated a chargeback  |
I've been looking through their ToS myself and I don't think that's the case. First, PayPal officially stated their termination was illegal activities by Assange (CTV News coverage), but everything I've seen so far is stuff that I think has to be proven. They COULD say that he's holds copyrighted material...but wouldn't that or taking part in criminal activity (in this case, alleged rape) need to be proven in court?
