Wikileaks is in trouble.

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite frequent press confusion, Wikileaks 
| is nothing to do with Wikimedia at all â 
| âwikiâ is a generic term for âmass-editable 
| websiteâ and they use MediaWiki, but 
| thereâs no connection.

Australian Domain Authority Circumvents Standard Process To Shut Down Site Critical Of Australian Internet Filters

,----[ Quote ]
| With the news that Australia has decided to 
| censor the internet, a group of protesters 
| decided to set up a website complaining 
| about this effort by Communications 
| Minister Stephen Conroy (who laughably 
| called internet filters "100% effective" 
| based on absolutely no metrics). In setting 
| up this protest site, they were able to 
| register the domain stephenconroy.com.au. 
| Not surprisingly, that got some press 
| attention, and suddenly the Australian 
| domain authority, AuDA, took notice.

| website satirising communications minister 
| Stephen Conroy's ISP filtering regime.

| The National Aviation and Transport Services
| (NATS) is threatening legal action against
| Wikileaks because the website has published
| a recording of the crashing of BA flight
| 038, call sign Speedbird 38, which came down
| just short of the Heathrow runway in 2008.
