bank writes order to censor anonymous leaks news site, judge rubber stamps it
Wikileaks.com DNS hosting removed for publishing evidence of bank's shady dealings - "Wikileaks has published important leaked documents, such as the Rules of Engagement for Iraq [see my The Secret Rules of Engagement in Iraq], the 2003and 2004 Guantanamo Camp Delta Standard Operating Procedures, and evidence of major bank fraud in Kenya [see also here] that apparently affected the Kenyan elections." See also wikinews wired and boing boing where they note that the wikileaks site is still up at its ip.

+Order amended from permanent injunction to temporary restraining order, and ordering removal of JB documents rather than site being taken down - hostname still doesn't point to its ip address though.

Once on the internets, information is immortal.

Makes me glad all my adolescent idiocy disappeared in one of AOL's periodic reorganizations....

a lot of my 90's usenet dipshittery is still out there, but I'm capable of sticking my foot in my mouth long before anyone bothers googling my ancient online misdeeds.

Your only hope is to blanket the search results with so much noise no one can find the embarrassing bits!

I could, if it actually worried me very much. I may've been a bit emo, but I'm not closeted about anything some people might consider blackmail fodder.

Noisewise though it does happen that there are dozens of people with my same name (first and last) who WANT to be found.

My name is unique enough that the high hits for it are me. I'm just easily embarrassed, and thus glad all the evidence of 13-year-old me pretending to be a Jedi on an AOL message board is gone.

oh god I looked up my old usenet posts. /me barfs a little

I didn't have net access that young - didn't even get onto bulletin boards. In my case, 19 was bad enough.
