No, Mastercard International has now stated that they are ending the blockade.

In a letter from VALITOR´s lawyers, VALITOR relates how it sought the opinions of MasterCard International and VISA on the proposed July 1 cut-off. In its response MasterCard made clear to VALITOR that it no longer desires to blockade WikiLeaks. VISA has not responded.



It probably was only in the U.S. they were getting in shit from the government.


This is something VALITOR has said, yes? Have we heard directly from MasterCard? Why the reversal?
