Streizandes efekts un wikileak
Kā jau varbūt ieinteresētie lasītāji būs pamanījuši, lavīna ir sakustējusies. Īsumā - ir tāds projekts WIKIleak. Projekta mērķis - publicēt (plaši pieejamus darīt) dažādus dokumentus, kas, iespējams, atmasko nelikumības, korupciju, u.t.t.
Neņemos spriest par to, cik legāla ir šo dokumentu publicēšana, ticamības pakāpe un apspriest citus šā pasākuma morālos aspektus, tomēr kas interesanti: - kāda ļoti lielas valsts advokātu firma, kas, iespējams, lielāko popularitāti iemantojusi ar pirātismu (pretpirātisku) saistītu aktivitāšu sakarā, tiesā panāca, ka tiek anulēts domēns wikileaks.org. Tajā bija publicēti daži dokumenti, kas saturēja informāciju par kādas Šveices bankas iespējamo saistību ar naudas atmazgāšanu un šīs bankas filiāli(?) Kaimanu salās.
Kas interesanti, anulēts ne tikai .org, bet arī virkne citu domēnu. Rezultātā wikileaks lapa tika mirrorēta visā pasaulē. Zemāk svaigākais saraksts, taču nebrīnieties, ja kāda no lapām nestrādās.
* Streizandes efekts - efekts, kad centieni padarīt informāciju nepieejamu noved pie attiecīgās informācijas lavīnveida izplatīšanās, pie tam šo informāciju izlasa pat tie, kam par to nebūtu bijusi ne mazākā interese.
Saraksts zemāk…
WikiLeakS.org DNS problems - partly censored by Temporary Restraining Order ?
Currently http://WikiLeakS.org is either having technical Domain Name System problems, or, there has indeed been a Temporary Restraining Order granted by the California Northern District Court in San Francisco, against Wikileaks et al, on behalf of Bank Julius Baer.
See the previous blog article:- “WikiLeakS.org and their Domain Name Registrar are being sued in California by Bank Julius Baer”for more details
This lack of a working WikiLeakS.org domain name also affects the URL
http://www.wikileaks.org
and the the SSL encrypted version at
https://secure.wikileaks.org
However the WikiLeaks front end servers, currently hosted in Sweden, are still working, and can still be accessed via some, but not all of the published list of Public Cover Names:
Why are Bank Julius Baer and their Hollywood celebrity media spin lawyers Lavely & Singer, trying to abuse the US legal system, to censor WikiiLeakS.org, over some alleged documents which have nothing to do with the USA ? The alleged documents which WikilLeakS.org have published, involve dubious financial transactions in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland, whilst the WikiLeakS,org copies of these alleged documents appear to be located in Sweden
Here is a list of Wikileaks Cover Name URL links which worked ok for us in the last few hours:

Some of the Cover Names presumably just re-direct traffic to the now missing www.wikileaks.org and so are effectively not working either i.e.
http://wikileaks.org.au/
https://secure.wikileaks.org.au/
http://wikileaks.de/
https://secure.wikileaks.de/
http://wikileaks.org.nz/
https://secure.wikileaks.org.nz/
Some are more peculiar in that unencrypted URLs either time out or are not working,
However, the corresponding SSL URLs work ok e.g.:
https://secure.smoke.ganja.nl/
https://secure.moskva.orts.ru/
Remember to check the Digital Certificate of any “https://” website you connect to (you may not always get a warning pop-up in your browser).
We may write a future blog article about the pros and cons of accessing WikiLeakS.org via an SSL encrypted page, with or without the use of proxy servers, especially with regard to anonymity and to evading censorship.
There are different trade-offs for website readers of leaked articles, for people who choose to comment on the Talk pages, for document and intelligence analysts and annotators (if the public is ever allowed to do this in proper Wiki mode), and, of course, for genuine whistleblowers (or fake propaganda spinners) who upload leaked documents.
