Wikileaks Black Lists

The world is moving faster than ever and technology advances and trends such as Twitter are only making the world a little smaller. There was a Twitter update recently that was published by Wikileaks that there were police raids in Australian homes. We previously reported on the Australian government making bans on certain domains and among those were a lot of online casino domains. The one particular web domain that is in question is the Wikileaks.de which is registered under a German domain. The reason why this particular website is in trouble is because they published a list of the banned websites which had some online casinos.

The website Wikileaks is a pretty cool website actually, they offer an anonymous service to the people who subscribe to it. This is not the first time that they have published lists of banned websites, they have previously listed the websites of Thailand, Australia and Denmark. The Wikileaks website is not quite sure what exactly initiated the raids from the government, some of the signs have pointed towards complaints received by the people of Australia. The website is still standing by their decision to post the lists and they published three of the lists that they had which they claim were the Australian Communications and Media Authority’s secret list of banned websites. The black listing of web domains has been a hot topic in the world of the online casino industry and any other internet gambling website as well. None of the online casinos that have given their opinion in the matter want to be included on that list.

No matter what the online casino industry thinks, the spokesperson for Wikileaks revealed a possibility for why their website was raided. They said, "The raid is over the censorship lists, but which particular list, we can not be certain, although the Australian lists are the most recent and the most prominent due to their non-voluntary status." There were some online casinos that were allegedly on that list that did not know about their black list status. There have been several attempts to try to clear this situation up, none have yet been successful.
