Wikileaks: Google makes DNS obsolete

8 points by Complete 15 years ago | 7 comments

Thats interesting: When searching for Wikileaks on Google, I get "213.251.145.96" as the #1 result. Im in Germany. Dont know if its the same around the world.

Domain name unreachable? Use the IP! (thanks Google) So, what's next? Will US government force Google to not return any results on keywords "wikileaks", "cablegate" or similar as they have (OK, it was... senator... Joe Lieberman) pressed Amazon and others (EasyDNS for example: because of the pressure on the Swiss DNS provider by the US and French governments we can suspect they [EasyDNS] were pressed, too)? Two words: "Chinese Democracy".

Only #3 for me (UK).

It does rather depend on lots of people getting the word out though. I'm not sure it would work for a less prominent website.

It works! I get it as first Google result from Italy. http://213.251.145.96/mirrors.html has current mirrors.

German keyboards don't have an apostrophe?

This is the first working result in the States too

Before that:

wikileaks.org

cablegate.wikileaks.org

and when you click you get the usual "Oops!"

Same in France, IP as the first result.
