Wikileaks totally shut down.

Pretty damn stupid comments from wikileaks supporters on twitter - such as -

"If Amazon are so uncomfortable with the first amendment, they should get out of the business of selling books," it read.

Jeez...I didn't know the first amendment meant everyone could read and listen to everyone else's every word. Privacy people! This Facebook and internet world is really dangerous in terms disclosure of information. Ezra Klein via Yglesias weighs in:

Assange isn’t whistleblowing or leaking. Both of those are targeted acts focused on an identified wrongdoing or event. He’s simply taking the private and making it public, with relatively little in the way of discrimination. If he’s really effective, the likely outcome won’t be that people know more, but that they know less, as major institutions — both public and private — will stop sharing their information so widely internally and stop writing so much of it down. That means decision-makers will know less, bureaucrats and managers will know less, reporters will know less, historians will know less, and so on. Assange may think his target is the U.S. government, or Goldman Sachs. But at the end of the day, there will still be governments and there will still be banks. What Assange is really doing is turning them against electronic text, file storage and large internal networks.

Yeah.
