wikileaks

WikiLeaks is a not-for-profit media organisation. Our goal is to bring important news and information to the public. We provide an innovative, secure and anonymous way for sources to leak information to our journalists (our electronic drop box). One of our most important activities is to publish original source material alongside our news stories so readers and historians alike can see evidence of the truth. We are a young organisation that has grown very quickly, relying on a network of dedicated volunteers around the globe. Since 2007, when the organisation was officially launched, WikiLeaks has worked to report on and publish important information. We also develop and adapt technologies to support these activities.

Wikileaks founder: Julian Assange

Uncurated dumps like the Podesta emails are a threat to healthy dissent, even a form of censorship. Me for the NYT:https://t.co/GrdUjr4XI1 https://t.co/ajuslzuYOO (http://twitter.com/zeynep/status/794642764713562113?s=17)

Those of us who aren’t reporters need better ways to respond, too. These hacks are done to steal our attention and to confuse us; the only effective response is to refuse to play this game on the hackers’ terms.

The WL/Stone DMs that the Atlantic hyped *corroborate* what WL was saying both publicly & privately: that they never communicated with Stone. But the truth would get no clicks, applause or MSNBC appearances. So they depicted it as the exact opposite https://t.co/7FIGdDTUnR https://t.co/omqoY69Yvm(http://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/968825026656030722?s=17)
