| <nettime> Wikileaks, anyone? http://tinyurl.com/d4kv4q |
What's Wikileaks, if you haven't heard of it yet? Wikipedia explains it thus: "Wikileaks is a website that publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of sensitive governmental, corporate, or religious documents, while attempting to preserve the anonymity and untraceability of its contributors. Within one year of its December 2006 launch, its database had grown to more than 1.2 million documents.[1] Wikileaks runs on modified MediaWiki software." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks Listen to Jacob Applebaum, giving a very brief introduction to this amazing project ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWxq9O1GYf0&feature=channel_page Some of its "notable" leaks are as follows:  ÂBank Julius Baer lawsuit  Âhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#Bank_Julius_Baer_lawsuit  ÂGuantÃnamo Bay procedures  Âhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#Guant.C3.A1namo_Bay_procedures  ÂScientology  Âhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#Scientology  ÂHack of Sarah Palin's Yahoo account  Âhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#Hack_of_Sarah_Palin.27s_Yahoo_account  ÂBNP membership list  Âhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#BNP_membership_list  ÂInternal UN reports  Âhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#Internal_UN_reports  ÂCongressional Research Service reports  Âhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks#Congressional_Research_Service_reports Check out Wikileaks here: http://www.wikileaks.org/ And take this quote from Britannia Radio: "Wikileaks has released over 600 United Nations investigative reports, over 70 of which are classified. The reports expose sensitive matters from allegations of hundreds of European peace-keepers sexually abusing--and impregnating--refugee girls, to generals in Peru using Swiss bank accounts to engage in multi-million dollar procurement fraud." Thanks to Jacob Appelbaum for putting this on the agenda!
