Topic: Oh, the irony of WikiLeaks.

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #11,052

It's practically unavoidable: WikiLeaks, an organization devoted to the free dispersal of information, is now roaring with indignation over a violation of its supposed exclusive right to the “WikiLeaks concept.”

In order for WikiLeaks’ vision to be realized, no organization can monopolize whistle-blowing operations.

Of course, it’s possible that whoever updates WikiLeaks’ Facebook and Twitter pages is an ideologically myopic Assange fanboy whose opinions do not represent those of WikiLeaks leadership. And, hearteningly, the hypocrisy of the anti-OpenLeaks position seems not to be lost on most of the pro-WikiLeaks community.

I still find it to be a complete waste of time on everyone's account.

This Domscheit-Berg guy seems to just be in it for the power trip.

There's also claims that Daniel Domscheit-Berg also destroyed about 3500+ unpublished files.

A bunch of new cables were released though. I wasn't really following it but I guess some people are still searching through all of them.

Assange updates the Twitter but not the Facebook.

I think pursuing this is more about Domscheit-Berg's perceived betrayal and the bad blood between him and Assange than it is about anyone running away with the WikiLeak's concept. I'm pretty sure WikiLeaks just wants to fuck with him, and they wouldn't be so critical if it were anyone else.

Also, what is astonishing about the whole story is the apparent lack of data security at WikiLeaks. I somehow thought Assange a little more James Bond than that -- As if he would just smile and say, "Wiped the files? No, silly. Aside from the flash backup I have lodged in my appendix, we have two other off site backups that you don't know about."

I read Daniel's book and he apparently "stole" the data when he left WikiLeaks.

In the same way that Tinychan 2.0 "stole" Anontalk's code, or as in actually stealing?

Wierd.
Anyway, they just released info that says Vatican knew about priests abusing nuns. Good stuff.

No, he physically took HDDs from Assange.

They should have patented the concept of a website for leaking classified documents, then they could sue for $100,000 a day and get the courts to take down the illegal clone.

What did you think of it? I wonder how it paints his side of the picture.

Also, an interview Der Spiegel had with him a little under a year ago.

Doing it this way so it linkifies better.

The book was alright. He pretty much got butthurt after Assange told him to stop screwing around, though. Not really a "structural" problem with WL.

I really agree. The act of protecting child molesters is incredibly evil.
