The problem here is not, that UN has declared something and because of that everyone will have to follow it. It's the fact, that they have declared it because the majority of governments is interested in censoring the internet. Globally. That's a red flag, meaning you should pay more attention in the coming years to _your_ government's attempts at censoring the internet.
If I were you, I would definitely take a look around and see, that the US Constitution has long lost it's power. Freedom is not something you just get. You have to fight for it every goddamn minute and prove you're worthy of it. Otherwise other smart-ass, that knows how you should live will control your life. So, unless you fight back, you will have the same restrictions (or even stricter) before you can blink.
Depends on their NDAs. For crying out loud, read the goddamn definition of NDA and what limitations it might have. There is a completely different thing, called patient (in case of a doctor) or client (in case of a lawyer) confidentiality, where they cannot disclose the data of their patient/client without police warrant. In this case it is told, that the guy had a ten-year NDA signed, ten years have passed, he can talk as much as he wants about that job of his. Simple.
Paypal and Mastercard are being attacked not for dropping Wikileaks support, but for the reason they did it: bowed to the whining of US government and instead of keeping it nice and legal (noone would have said a word it PayPal was presented with a warrant and ordered to stop processing WikiLeaks payments, then the government would be the target), they decided to give in to bullying.
Well, somehow the other side decided to show, that if it's the language they speak well — two can play at this game. And here you go — bullying at it best.
Wikileaks wasn't officially outlawed either. US government just started bullying everyone into cutting all connections with WikiLeaks.
So far no proof has been provided, that WikiLeaks is damaging the country itself by exposing how corrupt and abusive those in power are. Only whining "They made us look bad, you'd better ban them, or we'll show you!". This kind of behaviour is understandable for a 3-year-old, that is afraid that he will now get punished. But coming from the representatives of what is supposed to be the government of the United States Sort of dissapointing. And definitely calls for spanking.
A broken website IS a bad publicity. Even for those, who don't care for the ways government abuses the power.
This can be compared to taking a dump in front of a store. No matter how long you will keep telling people that the store owner uses illegal immigrants, adds poisonous chemicals and other abuses — noone will care, as long as the price is cheap is affordable.
But then again, if 10 000 monkeys takes a crap in front of the entrance — then people will run to another store. Cheap and effective.
The only thing more effective — is working with major newspapers (exactly what WikiLeaks does).
That will only draw more attention to the underlying problem: US government trying to cover it's the faeces, that have already hit the fan and covered whole internet.
The more publicity and fighters for the freedom of information, the more questions it will raise and the more attention it will draw to what government is doing and why it is spending money on hunting down free press site, like it's the source of all the problems in US and jailing some kid with a looped ping software.
Did you even read what this "IPv9" is? It's a DNS addon (works only in China) that re-routes all-number domains and resolves them a conventional IPv4 or IPv6 address. So, next time after you see an article — bother to read it before copying blindly to your comments.
Yeah, right, let's wait some more, untill we hit the brick wall of IPv4 space limitation, start losing money and then, when the money is lost — move over to IPv6. Never forget, that the greedy one pays twice.
I would still be a happier person to know how it gets handled and by whom. Because not having a clear RoE, slaughtering civilians and swipping it all under the rug calls for a little more measures, than "sorry, my bad".
Whatever makes the job done. Surgeon, removing cancer doesn't have to kind, caring or puppy-loving. He has to be professional and good at his job, that's all that matters.
I'd rather judge Assange by what he does, than by his marketing tricks to attract attention of the press.

Damn, gotta buy a ticket to this utopian place.

Darn, this troll comment is so fat, it didn't even fit on a 22" screen.
For some weird reason government tends to listen more readily when the citizens have their SMGs.

Actually, there is. Qt and Java flavour. All running under linux. So, now even script kiddies can use linux.

It's kind of sad, that this is true.
Learn the ultimate ^w combo already.

"There's a patch for that." And besides, LOIC now comes in all flavours: windows, linux (qt), MacOsX and cross-platform (Java and JS+HTML type).

The focus on him is one thing protecting him from accidentally slipping in the tub and bumping a head on a bullet.
