Israel Shuts Down DDoSecrets Channel, Enforces Censorship on Hezbollah Strikes
Aug 25, 2024, 09:28 AM
The Telegram channel of DDoSecrets, considered by many as a successor to WikiLeaks, was shut down, reportedly due to a request from Israel's cyber unit. This action is seen as part of Israel's efforts to enforce a gag order on leaked material from its Ministry of Justice. The decision has been criticized as censorship by those affected. Additionally, Israel has implemented new censorship regulations for media, prohibiting the publication of footage showing damage from rocket attacks on strategic national infrastructure or military bases. These regulations require reporters to refer such information to the media office before reporting to avoid causing harm. The censorship order also bans reporting on damage caused by Hezbollah strikes, as the group claims to have hit some targets.
