Amazon Will Not Have WikiLeaks On Its Servers Any Longer
Amazon has kicked WikiLeaks off its servers. After denial of service attacks began hitting WikiLeaks, the website moved to Amazon Web Services, which provides self-service website hosting. Amazon made the decision that it wanted no part in what WikiLeaks is doing.
Amazon server no longer has WikiLeaks after protest
The “Cablegate” series happened with WikiLeaks. Then, the sit faced some DDOS, or distributed denial of service. As a result, the site moved to Amazon Web Services. WikiLeaks had been then kicked off of the amaon.com self service web hosting, reports the Guardian. This was because American businesses were asked to boycott the site by Senator Joe Lieberman. ”Fine our $ are now spent to employ people in Europe” was what WikiLeaks posted on its Twitter page after this happened. The company also said that Amazon needed to “get out of the business of selling books” if Amazon wasn’t going to follow the first Amendment.
Julian Assange and outlaw in Europe
The head of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, has a warrant for his arrest from the Swedish government. The Christian Science Monitor reports that as a result of sexual assault charges, Assange has been a fugitive in Sweden from time to time. A “red notice” had been issued for Assange too by the Inter, or the international police organization. This means that any nation that finds Assange must arrest him. The warrant is more of a suggestion than other things. Both the United States and Assange’s home country, Australia, have criminal charges being charged to him. When asked about the situation, Assange’s mother said that he is “fighting baddies, if you like” and is doing what he believes is right.
Seeing all those mad
The international community has responded quite a bit to the diplomatic cables that WikiLeaks released. What the ultimate fate of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks can be is unknown, but it seems that the organization may not be able to operate with impunity ultimately.
