WikiLeaks Launches New Platform, Privacy Study

Posted by timothy on from the tools-for-racking-the-mud dept.

itwbennett writes "WikiLeaks has launched a new submissions platform, along with a study of the global trade in surveillance products. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told press conference attendees in London that all the iPhone, BlackBerry, and Gmail users in the crowd were 'screwed.' 'The reality is intelligence contractors are selling right now to countries across the world mass surveillance systems for all of those products,' Assange said."

    ... I'd really rather listen to the EFF, who have a lot more experience in the online privacy business and you know, have fought to actually defend these rights, than Mr Assange who approaches these things with little more than a clutch of advertising materials and offers no plan or counter-action than 'You're screwed!'. Let's hope he doesn't taint this field as well with his brand of divisive self-aggrandising paranoia.
