EveryDNS re-deleted the Wikileaks domain

Yes, it seems, the principles of democracy by some organizations are respected only in words. So, today Wikileaks domain has been re-deleted by domain .org domain administrator, EveryDNS. Let me remind you that at first this organization stopped the delegation of the domain name Wikileaks.org. This was done ostensibly because a DDoS-attack of 10 Gb / s was conducted on the website of the resource, and EveryDNS, according to the management, decided to get rid of this domain name, since “a continuous DDoS-attack threatened the entire infrastructure of the .org domain zone ". The decision is strange, but anything can happen. However, further begins a solid circus.

The fact is that the project manager Wikileaks Julian Essendzh decided to register another domain name, Wikileaks.ch, and used the DN servers of the same EveryDNS. It is not known why he did this, perhaps he just wanted to check how the company would behave in this case, but EveryDNS check failed. At this time, no one invented a "danger to the domain infrastructure." The domain was disconnected almost immediately, and a record appeared on the website of the above-mentioned company stating that the Wikileaks domain does not comply with the EveryDNS policy on working with primary and secondary domain servers. In addition, another reason was indicated - EveryDNS does not agree with the information that is posted on the Wikileaks website. So it seems that if the administrator "does not agree" with the content of your site, then the delegation of the domain of such a site can simply be revoked ...

In general, however, the Wikileaks story continues. This time the project team registered several domains in different national zones at once. So, such domains as Wikileaks.de, Wikileaks.fi, Wikileaks.nl were registered. In case of cancellation of delegation of any mirrors of the site, the rest will remain “afloat”, and the site itself will be available.

Let's hope that the British authorities, where, according to rumors, Essend is now located, will not issue him to Sweden, which has issued another arrest warrant for the head of Wikileaks. He is again accused of harassment, rape and other bad things. It seems that this is the same real accusation, as well as the “threat to the domain infrastructure”, which was invented by the company EveryDNS.
