The Australian Communications & Media Authority threatened internet communications forum Whirlpool.net.au with an $11,000-per-day fine unless they edited a forum member's posting which hyperlinked to Wikileaks. Wikileaks was added to the ACMA blacklist for publishing a leaked document containing Denmark's list of banned websites.

"The first rule of censorship is that you cannot talk about censorship," Wikileaks said on its website in response to the ACMA ban.
