Without Registration, Swedish Law Does Not Protect Wikileaks Sources
An anonymous reader writes with word that Wikileaks, which currently stores a lot of their material on servers in Sweden, may not be as safe there as once believed. From the above linked article (from April): "Wikileaks is benefiting form Sweden's basic law 'Grundlag' on the freedom of print information, because it also guarantees the anonymity of sources in digital media, say sources at the European Parliament. In Sweden, if a website registers with the public authorities and can prove it has an editor-in-chief, then it can also be protected under the law, argues the parliamentary source." Says the anonymous submtter, "However, it seems Wikileaks never registered with the public authorities (article in Swedish; here it is auto-translated to English), and thus is not protected by the freedom of print information basic law even if they do have an editor-in-chief."
Watch and see the commies get theirs.
SHOWER DON'T JUST
Don't know why this was modded flamebait, seems like a reasonable expectation for treason. I would have preferred and believe they eventually will get [insert your favorite fear / doom scenario] for aiding and materially supporting espionage against a nation state and knowingly endangering sources and soldiers fighting against sharia law. Wikileaks hasn't expressed an opinion nor reported as a reporter. No law protects against release of facts or material gained illegal and without authorization.
These people are doomed, and they pissed away any reporting or informational value they could have had to the world by supporting terror and those who hate freedom and love Sharia law.
This is not about censorship, this is about a team loosing focus, loosing a mission, revealing they never had principles and endangering lives in the process.
scum bags all.
