"'Whistleblower' website shut by US court over bank documents"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"'Whistleblower' website shut by US court over bank documents": Agence France Presse provides a report that begins, "A website designed to let whistleblowers publish sensitive documents has been ordered shut down by a US federal judge at the request of a Swiss bank and its Cayman Islands subsidiary, court documents showed Monday. US District Judge Jeffrey White in California, in an injunction order dated Friday, ordered the shutdown of the website known as Wikileaks.org."

BBC News reports that "Whistle-blower site taken offline; A controversial website that allows whistle-blowers to anonymously post government and corporate documents has been taken offline in the US."

Tuesday's edition of The Guardian (UK) reports that "Whistleblowing website vows to defy court gag."

The Sydney Morning Herald provides a news update headlined "Court puts kybosh on telltale site."

And The Register (UK) reports that "US judge arranges summary execution of Wikileaks.org; Many-headed whistleblower site still standing."

You can view Friday's order of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California both here and here.

And via "TPM Muckraker," you can access here the motion that sought to shut down the web site.
