Search engine for censored documents

Recommended Posts

Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets) a non-profit in the U.S., started a search engine for leaked documents in 2019. Thanks to freedom of information, we now know that in 2020, the tool was censored by an order from the U.S. DOJ: https://x.com/Mxynyx/status/1836479049406783623
Fittinly, DDoSecrets have been called the new Wikileaks.
Before it was confiscated by German police at the request of the Trump-era DOJ, their search engine server had indexed hundreds of gigabytes of documents, and was used by journalists all over the world. The censorship was effective, their web address is still banned on Twitter, and one of their channels was recently removed by Telegram.
DDoSecrets kept publishing, using torrents for censorship resistance, and eventually brought Hunter back, as a subscriber-only tool. Currently hunter.ddosecrets.com indexes over 68 leaks including multiple terabytes of datasets from El Salvador, Myanmar, Iran, Mexico, United States, Russia, Ukraine, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Equatorial Guinea, and more. Access to the website has been censored in Turkey, Russia, Indonesia, and in Israel. Now, DDoSecrets wants to make Hunter public again, and re-release a search engine that is not locked down to just subscribers.
To bring back the public Hunter Memorial Library, the group will need $3000 in start-up costs and something lik $20,000 a year to pay for the server space and basic upkeep.
If you would like to support this campaign, there will soon be a crowdfund link, which you will be able to find on their Twitter or Telegram feeds. You can also get in touch with them via Signal at the username Disclosure.01 for major giving, donation receipts, etc.
