So Is WikiLeaks Domain Banned in America?

Or just on ATS?

Or the Whole of America?

As it is an 'Illegal site' according to the ATS staff.....

My dear Americans -knowledge is power - and they are keeping it from you!!!

On a side note - The hunt for Snowden is quite comical

Im in Australia and I can bring the wikileaks page up.

Yes, the WL page is censored on ATS. It is because ATS does not allow links to material gathered illegally. This is according to official answers in a recent thread.

I think its ironic a site set up to "deny Ignorance" bans a sight with sources that expose all the evil in the world!

This is a international site right? So why care if its banned in the USA? They are wrong for banning it so screw them. Would you remove links that are banned in China? I bet not!


Plus you ask people when posting to give evidence and proof of there sources right? Well any leak or source will be classed as Illegal by someone! In theroy you should be banning all information on Snowden right? Thats illegal.


This site and its owners really need to have a good disscussion on were it prioritys really are as at the moment they seem to be with pleaseing our corrupt overlords not denying ignorance.


I bet this thread gets locked too. Beacuse how dare we deny possible ignorance of the site
Lock this thread and you may as well get NSA sponsership for the place.

Yet almost all leaks and sources are illegal to someone right?
When are they going to start removing all posts on snowdon? (I hope they dont by the way)

Cant upset our evil overlords!

Woo Woo crazys indulging there mental health issues and delusions fine

Concerned people questioning our corrupt masters bad

Im not pointing fingers at any member of staff. Im just saying they may need to have a deep look at how things are as they may of accidently drifted.

In my opinion unless its offensive, recruiting for something moraly objectible, pornographic or makes zero sense it should'nt be banned.

I am surprised that your thread hasn't been 404'd yet.

the last one I saw... just discussing this subject... well, it didn't last very long.

Again so much for denying ignorance and freedom of speech......


The fact that we cant even disscuss something we think is wrong.......

Its all about self preservation. ATS is a corporation with a corporate interest in maintaining a fiduciary responsibility to its investors. Staying out of the crosshairs of Uncle Sam is likely the best way to do this.

Essentially, yes. That is why our government is now after a guy who spied on them while they spied on us. Its pretty stupid, huh?

Like i keep saying....i just need a time and place and I am there.

By the way I want to point out that Im not trying to be disrespectfull to the staff on ATS.

Im just concerned with the direction they may be takeing.


It would be a shame to see this wonderfull site loss its appeal and purpose.

It comes up just fine in Canada too.

People may not be able to discuss the site here, but they should still be able to go and read the info on the site for themselves.
Maybe to discuss the info that's there, they need to find another site that contains the same leaked info. Maybe someone else published it too.

**there's a lot of things censored on ATS, but it does reside in "the land of the free...."

Because of illegal acts they commit, we didn't allow linking to it from ATS. But, we're currently checking it through with legal, etc. and I have a feeling we'll allow linking to it soon. Don't quote me on it, but it certainly seems to be blowing that way....So, we'll see.

**there's a lot of things censored on ATS, but it does reside in "the land of the free...."

Not an issue of censorship...but one of legality. We also have terms and conditions that members agreed to, before posting. We are different from some sites that allow blatant swearing, hate, personal attacks, etc., but we try to differentiate ourselves in this way. While some see this as censorship, others see it for what it is, a desire to create a civil forum for discussion.

If accurate, that is good news.
In the spirit of Ignorance Denial.

Well most leaked infomation will be illegal somewhere.

I dont think many of us have a problem with those rules.

It just rules on what we can and cant disscuss concering world wide issues some of us have a problem with.
