from Mashable! by Ben Parr
MAIN FOCUS: Wikileaks creates a global public sphere | 01/12/2010
China is blocking Wikileaks‘ websites, states fear for their data security and the world learns of a planned coup d’état against Pakistan’s president. While the daily disclosures of further US dispatches are causing a flurry worldwide, the press also sees Wikileaks as answering a basic need for information on the part of the global public sphere.
Wikileaks ‘ousted’ from Amazon
Amazon will no longer be hosting Wikileaks, according to Wikileaks: “WikiLeaks servers at Amazon ousted. Free speech the land of the free–fine our $ are now spent to employ people in Europe.”
If Amazon has silenced Wikileaks?
Whether you believe Julian Assange should be Time?s Man of the Year, or whether you?d like to see him tried for espionage, rape or other crimes, you have to admit the man keeps things interesting. While the revelations in Wikileaks recent releases haven?t toppled governments, or perhaps even led to major journalistic revelations, they?re forcing important discussions about secrecy, privacy, rights of free speech and the architecture of the internet.
