When requesting https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf I get the following PDF content: It takes advantage of the nature of information being easy to spread but hard to stifle. - Satoshi Nakamoto

This might be due to the location of your IP address.
At one point, the white paper was entirely removed from bitcoin.org, because of the fraud Craig Wright's lawsuits threating people (specifically here, the owner of the domain bitcoin.org). I can't say for 100% but I think Cobra probably has it now set up to not deliver the whitepaper to certain jurisdictions(?).

Are you accessing it with an IP address located in the UK?

Ah yes, you're right. My VPN was using the UK. I changed the country and can now access it. So this means that people from the UK can't access any whitepaper from bitcoin.org. That is terrible.
I wonder if there are adjusted Bitcoin white papers circulating on the web with incorrect information. The only way to verify is to have a hash of the original.

On behalf of the UK, I apologize for our law system enabling this retarded scammer.

Not exactly true. It doesn't apply to all people, it's limited to cucks who won't use a VPN.

Yeah, it's because of CSW suing bitcoiners in the UK.
The person hosting the site got sued for hosting the whitepaper. However, that person wanted to stay anonymous and thus didn't want to show up in court.
Therefore, CSW won by default. What a shitshow, lol
can't access any whitepaper from bitcoin.org
Are you sure it's all whitepapers though? Not only the bitcoin whitepaper? Are there even more whitepapers on that site?
