    This webpage discusses how other websites and corporations have been affected by the Wikileaks issues. Such issues as public censorship, which Amazon has for years condoned, resurfaced surrounding government and public pressures about Wikileaks. Now Amazon must consider if they are willing to pre-screen or censor material uploaded to their site. Twitter has faced similar issues, while PayPal has come under substantial fire from the government for supporting Wikileaks' Donation efforts.

Egypt Tunisia Diplomatic Cables Wikileaks Julian Assange

    The WikiLeaks founder says he believes the internet is not a technology that favors freedom of speech but rather spying. Assange disagrees with reports that Facebook and Twitter play a role in the unrest in the Middle East. He offers his reasoning why revolts cannot be started via Facebook, Twitter, or other social networking sites: they can all be used to round-up principal participants, so that they may be beaten, interrogated or incarcerated. Perhaps most disturbingly, he blames leaked diplomatic cables for the unrest currently in the Middle-East being that the United States had decided that in a necessary event, they would militarily back the Tunisian military over the political regime and would mobilize against neighboring countries if need be. There were further cables that also led to US disapproval of Mubarak in Egypt.

  • The dispute cuts to the core of the question of whether WikiLeaks allies are part of a criminal conspiracy or a political discussion
  • The U.S. is investigating whether WikiLeaks should be held responsible for leaking classified information, even though it was not the original leaker.
  • "The First Amendment guarantees their right to speak up and freely associate with even unpopular people and cause," attorneys wrote.

    How exactly would the U.S. government hold WikiLeaks responsible (i.e. Would they identify a person within the organization, the entire organization etc.) Who determines whether WikiLeaks "are part of a criminal conspiracy or a political discussion"?

  • . The companies did so, which prompted a group of hackers to hit back. The group, which goes by the moniker "Anonymous," launched a series of cyber attacks against those three companies and others, in what the hackers dubbed "Operation Payback."

      What exactly is the relationship between Anonymous and Wikileaks? Will the relationship between them benefit or hurt wikileaks because Anonymous's activities seem to be explicitly illegal and so Wikileaks could be forced to face even more punishment.
  • Barr's braggadocio didn't sit well with the hacker collective, who then apparently broke into HBGary Federal's computer system and stole tens of thousands of E-mails and posted them on the Internet, hijacked Barr's Twitter account, posted his supposed home address and social security number, and defaced HBGary Federal's website.

      The fact that the group broke into the security system of a firm that specializes in cyber security makes me wonder if any information on the internet can truly be kept "safe"

  • I write to remind our users, and people in search of privacy enhancing technology, that good software is just one part of the solution.
  • We hear from the Wikileaks folks that the premise behind these news articles is actually false -- they didn't bootstrap Wikileaks by monitoring the Tor network.
