German Police Raid Homes of Wikileaks.de Domain Owner

Posted by timothy on from the don't-you-oppress-me dept.

BountyX writes "First and foremost, wikileaks.org is back up after downtime due to server load; however, the German government wants to keep the site down. According to their twitter page, police have raided the home of Wikileaks.de domain owner Theodor Reppe (PDF) over internet censorship lists that were leaked two weeks ago. What the Australian government's secret ACMA internet censorship blacklist has to do with Germany is a mystery. This case is a prime example of multiple governments collaborating in support of censorship." Reader iter8 provides a link to coverage on Wikileaks itself, which says that police searched Reppe's homes in both Dresden and Jena, and adds: "According to police, the reason for the search was 'distribution of pornographic material' and 'discovery of evidence.' Wikileaks has published censorship lists for Australia, Thailand, Denmark and other countries. Included on the lists are references to sites alleged to contain pornography, including child pornography. Wikileaks has not published any images from the sites."

    Wow! I think I might actually start making donations to these people

    Wow that's so generous of you - to think you might actually start donations. Couple that with your "if they're getting this much hassle....various gov'ts..." - you are one of those scary people who believe everything the gov't does = evil.

    I apologise, the FAQ is a little vague. I set my MESSAGE threshold to +2, and didn't use the slider at the top of the comments.

    SlashDot is again full of win!

    You must be mistaking Afghanistan with Iraq - but then Americans have problems finding their own country on a map.

    I say let there be this 'International Currency'. Guess what? I bet people still use the dollar. People can keep a basket of international currencies in their portfolio without having a 'basket currency'. People can buy things with whatever currency they feel like spending by first exchanging that currency for the one the item is being sold for. And 'International Currency' will just not be adopted because there will be no compelling reason to do so.
