(CNN) — Amazon, whose servers have been home to WikiLeaks since earlier this week, has quit hosting it, the website behind a massive disclosure of controversial documents said Wednesday.
WikiLeaks confirmed the move on its Twitter feed Wednesday afternoon.
“WikiLeaks servers at Amazon ousted,” read a post from shortly before 3 p.m. ET. “Free speech the land of the free–fine our $ are now spent to employ people in Europe.”
The site wasn’t accessible early Wednesday, but appeared to be reactivated by Wednesday afternoon.
U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman was one of the first public officials to announce the move. One of the most vocal critics of WikiLeaks, Lieberman said Amazon officials told him Wednesday morning that they had taken down the site.
“I wish that Amazon had taken this action earlier based on WikiLeaks’ previous publication of classified material,” Lieberman said in a written statement. “The company’s decision to cut off WikiLeaks now is the right decision and should set the standard for other companies WikiLeaks is using to distribute its illegally seized material.”

Live Long WikiLeaks
Long Live WikiLeaks
See how long you will live.
U have freedom of speech in the USA until u start saying things that the government doesn’t like to hear or doesn’t want the public to know… They they undermine friends and foes alike… For whatever will advance their agenda
No matter what the truth will be revealed ! The info Wikileaks revealed has put the U.S , Canada & other government bodies to shame so they are trying to spin it around by claiming it puts lives at risk.
Most of the info revealed has to do with issues that have been questioned for many years but we never had the concrete evidence to support our suspicions. Only a fool would want to be kept in the dark as to the extent their countries leaders would go to achieve power.
Long live Julian Assange ! Long live Wikileaks !

WHAT A BUNCH OF I-I-T-
You can’t possibly be comparing this Wikileaks situation to the DA situation. You are talking about National Security breaches vs allegations of corruptions.
Be serious now!
When the truth comes out. The evil will run. If they have nothing to fear they should not panic
Wikiliennox was cut from who?
Good move. Free press and free speech are all well and good but even I feel violated. There are in fact some information meant to stay private and confidential.
hmmm so this have nothing to do with the founder on the most wanted list??
