Yes, what you say seems accurate. In any case it changes from hour to hour. The government has nevertheless indicated that they are undesirable in France.

PARIS - WikiLeaks, "driven out" from the United States, is now undesirable in France where the government, describing the site as "criminal", asked Friday that the French server OVH, which hosts part of its content, put an end to this hosting as quickly as possible.
The host said he would turn to justice for it to rule because, according to him, "it's like it should work in a country of law"
"OVH is neither for nor against this site", explained Octave Klaba, its managing director, who added: "OVH is a company which provides the infrastructures (...) and our role is to ensure this technical service. . That's all. We have not asked to host this site or not to host it. Now that it is with us we are ensuring the contract. It's our job. It is functional "..
"France cannot host websites which violate the secrecy of diplomatic relations and endanger persons protected by diplomatic secrecy," said Eric Besson, the Minister of Industry in charge of digital technology, in a letter addressed to CGIET (General Council for Industry, Energy and Technologies, responsible for giving advice). He thus asks this organization to indicate as quickly as possible the means to put an end to the hosting of WikiLeaks in France.
"We cannot host websites qualified as criminals and rejected by other states because of the infringements they bring to their fundamental rights," explains Mr. Besson in his letter.
Some of the content of WikiLeaks is hosted on the OVH server since Thursday morning, after having been previously by the American server Amazon.

For Olivier Tesquet, journalist at the specialized site OWNI, Eric Besson's request "is useless". "It's totally cosmetic" he told AFP, because "the site can always be hosted elsewhere".
At 18h00, dozens of mirror sites, copying exactly the content of WikiLeaks, were online.
"Then," he continues, "does the minister's request only concern the WikiLeaks site or all of the American diplomatic telegrams posted online? if so, it means closing Le Monde, Owni and all sites that have posted memos on their website. In short, it is endless, bottomless and without much interest ".
"This letter does not concern us since we do not host the WikiLeaks site," assured AFP the editorial director of Le Monde, Sylvie Kauffmann.
As they send back the ball ...
The BIG mess what!
In Switzerland too it is a "hot potato".

Before the site wikileaks.ch is temporarily no longer available on the net, Switch, the company that manages domain names in Switzerland, said on Friday that it did not intend to cut access to WikiLeaks.ch for the time being.
Indeed, Switch takes such a measure on its own only if the content of a site is illegal (pornography, hate speech) or if it is used to spread viruses. This is, in his view, not the case of WikiLeaks.
Alternatively for an address to be removed, the authorities could order the closure of the site. A legal basis is however necessary to arrive there. State reason, for example, can be a motive for cutting access.
The Pirate Party supports Julian Assange
The Pirate Party Switzerland, which registered the domain address wikileaks.ch, was not aware, according to him, intentions of the team of Julian Assange to migrate his site in Switzerland, but assured him his support.
The registration of the wikileaks.ch domain address goes back six months, "in the name of freedom of expression and of the press", explained during a press conference in Biel the president of the PPS, Denis Simonet . "We wanted a Swiss who wanted to access the WikiLeaks site by typing .ch to be able to do so."
At the time, WikiLeaks was informed of the registration of the domain by an email. Three weeks ago, the president of the PPS and his vice-president Pascal Gloor met Julian Assange in Geneva, completely independent of the domain registration in Switzerland. "It was not discussed" during the interview, according to the two men.
In an exchange that lasted about two hours, "around a pizza", they explained to him the functioning of the institutions of the country, since he had announced on the set at 19:30 pm of the TSR that he was considering s 'establish in Switzerland.
For his part, the Australian explained their philosophy. "We did not have to do anything when we learned that WikiLeaks was emigrating to Switzerland," said Denis Simonet. The PPS is content to direct Internet users to "a server which can be anywhere in the world and whose location can change at any time". He also assures that he has no way of contacting Julian Assange.
In Switzerland, an exceptional intervention of the government remained hypothetical Friday. The Federal Council has been informed of the latest developments but has not discussed them [SIC] said his spokesman André Simonazzi, without further details.
