Just a short post today. For those who don’t read the news, this week WikiLeaks posted a huge trove of until-this-week-secret-documents regarding diplomatic traffic between the U.S. and its friends (and some not-friends).
Wikileaks (I can’t link to it because it’s moving as we speak…most of their sites are being closed down within hours of opening) has been around for four years and has been involved in the leaking of information from Chinese human rights violations to Sarah Palin’s hacked emails. Most recently, the release of material indicating that the US government communicated less-than-flattering information about some allies and was involved in supposed spying against some UN officials has raised the interest and ire of countless people.
The figure behind the site, Australian Julian Assange,
is a former hacker-turned-journalist who is currently being sought by Interpol for questioning in cases of sexual harassment and rape. He is, of course, equally hated and loved depending on one’s view of anyone who publishes things that others think should or should not stay secret. Spies are cool if they’re your own.
So what can be learned from this brouhaha?
It’s a great reminder…when it comes to technology and the internet, it’s never a secret.
You made some nice points there. I did a search on the topic and found most guys will consent with your blog.
