Members of the Anonymous hacking team and Wikileaks have taken to slagging each other off on Twitter, with the hackers angry that part of Wikileaks’ content is now hidden behind a semi-restrictive software paywall.
The leak site has restricted access to its Global Information Files, although it’s not like you need to start paying £6 a month for access. Wikileaks is asking users to tweet, share, donate or simply wait (while watching a YouTube video) for access to requested material, a bit like the annoying systems put in place by the world’s numerous file sharing sites.
Anonymous doesn’t like it at all, though, suggesting Wikileaks changes this policy or risks losing its few remaining friends, also hopefully requesting Wikileaks might “die in a fire” due to this minor change. [TNW]

Anonymous are being whiny cunts, Wikileaks needs to raise funding somehow and it’s not like they are blocking content.
Julian Assange needs money, didn’t his main financial backer pull out ?
It’s not like they now have a choice.
Yeah, it’s not like he can go to his job at Grace Brothers anymore.
Hardly surprising. Anonymous still thinks unlimited money comes out when their parents stick their bank cards into ATMs.
