See also what credit card companies did to Wikileaks; i.e. they simply refused all their cardholders to donate money to Wikileaks.

Because of the numerous chargebacks associated with plenty of people using other people's credit cards to make those donations.

They weren't taking a political stance. If Wikileaks supporters had used their own credit cards Wikileaks could still take donations by credit card.
