WikiLeaks
You may have heard that a San Francisco judge shut down the WikiLeaks web site last week. This is only partially true.
The bozos that run WikiLeaks did not show up to defend themselves in court, and the judge ruled in favor of Julius Baer Bank. Because no one from WikiLeaks was present, the judge could not have mandated that the defamatory documents be removed from the WikiLeaks site.
As a result, the judge ordered Dynadot — the domain registrar — to turn off the WikiLeaks.org domain.
The WikiLeaks web site is currently operating and reachable at http://wikileaks.be.
WikiLeaks can be an interesting web site, but you must keep in mind that much of the data posted there simply isn’t true. The site is used as a dumping ground of “information” by all sorts of disreputable and unethical kooks. No controls exist to verify any posted information. In their own words “Wikileaks does not pass judgement on the authenticity of documents. That’s up to the readers, editors and communities to do. ”
Go, read, have fun. You may learn something new. It may even be true.
