WikiLeaks - About - 2 views

  • 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).

      Do WikiLeaks have a bias/ulterior motive in leaking this information? How can we be certain that the electronic drop box is anonymous and ensures the safety of those submitting the information?
    • Jaclyn Udell
       
      I heard an interview on NPR one time and the people were talking about how authors should reveal their bias in their publications. Since WikiLeaks keeps submitters anonymous how do they expose the bias in their publications?
  • 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.
    • Jaclyn Udell
       
      Who in the company WikiLeaks is responsible for the repercussions of the information that is exposed? In America we have the right to express ourselves through words, but how does this impose upon other social norms in places where freedom of speech is limited?

Mirror (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • In computing, a mirror is an exact copy of a data set. On the Internet, a mirror site is an exact copy of another Internet site. Mirror sites are most commonly used to provide multiple sources of the same information, and are of particular value as a way of providing reliable access to large downloads. Mirroring is a type of file synchronization. A live mirror is automatically updated as soon as the original is changed.
  • To provide access to otherwise unavailable information. For example, when the popular Google search engine was banned in 2002 by the People's Republic of China, the mirror elgooG was used as a way of effectively circumventing the ban.
