WikiLeaks US embassy cables: live updates News guardian.co.uk: "4.08pm: Good morning from Washington DC – where State Department spokesman PJ Crowley has just tweeted that the US government had nothing to do with PayPal's action to block WikiLeaks donations:
The U.S. government did not write to PayPal requesting any action regarding #WikiLeaks. Not true.
3.35pm: Josh Halliday has been talking to a spokesman for Anonymous, the group behind Operation Payback. He suggested they could be changing tactics.
Just spoken to a London-based spokesman for Anonymous. He wished to remain, er, anonymous.
'Anonymous is supporting WikiLeaks not because we agree or disagree with the data that is being sent out, but we disagree with any from of censorship on the internet,' he said.
'This is why we are acting against these companies as we believe that if we let WikiLeaks fall without a fight then governments will think they can just take down any sites they wish or disagree with.'
The 22-year-old spokesman, who wished to be known only as 'Coldblood', said he was not at liberty to release any future plans. 'Anything goes,' he teased.
But this is news: 'We will say that we are moving away from DDoS and working on methods to support Wikileaks with methods like mirroring the site and other methods to allow WikiLeaks to keep operating.'
Look out for our profile of Anonymous shortly."
