OpenLeaks — 'A New WikiLeaks'

Posted by timothy on from the one-way-valve dept.

Flixie writes "Swedish newspaper dagens Nyheter reports: '...[S]everal key figures behind the website that publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of sensitive governmental, corporate, organizational or religious documents have resigned in protest against the controversial leader Julian Assange only to launch a new service for the so-called whistleblowers. The goal: to leak sensitive information to the public."

    There's a difference between free speech and putting people's lives in danger.

    While you may be informing the public of abuses by an institution, you may also be violating the rights and security of people identified in those documents. Wikileaks has been sloppy and arrogant about that, and deserves nobody's support. Several of its own members are demonstrating the right action in that situation: distance yourself from the criminals and do the same job properly elsewhere.

    *sigh*

    Who, please name ONE SINGLE person who got killed! One would do.

    Repeating spin over and over is not making it any more correct.

    Likely, the identity of anyone who was killed because of Wikileaks would remain secret. Unless Wikileaks got a hold of it. In which case, well, it would probably remain secret.

    Assange thinks that because Malaria exists he's not culpable for starting a war.
