Facing indirect pressure from the U.S. Government, Tableau Software has dropped Wikileaks' data from its site for people to use for data visualization. According to an announcement posted on Tableau's blog, the company decided to drop Wikileaks' content after reading Sen. Joe Lieberman's public request that companies hosting Wikileaks' data remove it. According to the announcement: "Our terms of service require that people using Tableau Public do not upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any content that they do not have the right to make available." It does not appear that Tableau was contacted by the senator directly, nor that it received a cease-and-desist order or any other official request to remove the visualizations.


Another gutless company fails in the face of the truth.
