WikiLeaks Exposed Sensitive Materials to The Public | Freedom of Information Act
Hi readers, here is a big surprise for you. Today while surfing, I have found a wonderful website http://www.wikileaks.org. Wikileaks is an international organization which publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of sensitive documents while preserving the anonymity of sources. Its website, launched in 2006.
Within a year of its launch, the site claimed a database that had grown to more than 1.2 million documents. Video posted on a website called Collateral Murder established Wikileaks as a prime portal for unauthorized, accurate accounts, documents and video from distant battlefields.
Wikileaks went public in January 2007, when it first appeared on the Internet. WikiLeaks combines the protection and anonymity of cutting-edge cryptographic technologies with the comfortable presentation style of Wikipedia, although the two are not otherwise related. WikiLeaks network also collects materials in person and from postal drops. WikiLeaks also run a network of lawyers and others to defend their work and their sources.
WikiLeaks information is distributed across many jurisdictions, organizations and individuals. Once a document published it is essentially impossible to censor.
WikiLeaks staff examine all documents and label any suspicions of inauthenticity based on a forensic analysis of the document, means, motive and opportunity, cost of forgery, what the authoring organization claims and so on. WikiLeaks become world leaders in this and have an enviable record: as far as can be determined, they have yet to make a mistake. This does not mean they will never make a mistake, but so far, method is working and have a reputation to protect.
