Following a California court ruling, wikileaks.org’s domain registrar, Dynadot, was ordered to stop resolving the wikileaks domain name to the wikileaks.org website. Wikileaks was designed as an anonymous way whistle-blowers could post government and corporate documents without fear of retribution. Not unexpectedly, this didn’t go over well in the corporate world. The case that brought wikileaks down was brought by a Swiss banking group, Julius Baer,  after they discovered hundreds of internal documents detailing its offshore activities were posted on the site. Allegedly, these documents showed that the group was involved in money laundering and tax evasion. Wikileaks claims the order was unconstitutional and a form of censorship.
