Wikileaks.org Ordered Offline by California Court - UPDATE
A controversial website that allows whistle-blowers to anonymously post government and corporate documents has been taken offline in the US.More here.
Wikileaks.org, as it is known, was cut off from the internet following a California court ruling, the site says.
The case was brought by a Swiss bank after "several hundred" documents were posted about its offshore activities.
Other versions of the pages, hosted in countries such as Belgium and India, can still be accessed.
However, the main site was taken offline after the court ordered that Dynadot, which controls the site's domain name, should remove all traces of wikileaks from its servers.
The court also ordered that Dynadot should "prevent the domain name from resolving to the wikileaks.org website or any other website or server other than a blank park page, until further order of this Court."
UPDATE: 14:31 PST: As Mike Masnick points out, you can still reach the Wikileaks website if you know the IP address. -ferg
