Subject: [TSCM-L] {4644} WikiLeaks shuts down


Many on this list have probably benefited from WikiLeaks, a valuable
source of leaked documents (some TSCM-related) that few others would
dare to even think about publishing.

I hope they find some way to get things back up and soon, and have
given them money more than once. Perhaps TSCM-L list members may care
to support WikiLeaks as well. http://wikileaks.org/

(Apologies for the somewhat off-topic solicitation)

(BBC) *WikiLeaks, a whistleblower website that allows people to publish
uncensored information anonymously, has suspended operations owing to
financial problems.*

Its running costs including staff payments are $600,000 (�377,000), but so
far this year it has raised just $130,000 (�81,000).

WikiLeaks has established a reputation for publishing information that
traditional media cannot.

The website claims to be non-profit and relies on donations.

A statement on its front page says it is funded by "human rights
campaigners, investigative journalists, technologists and the general
public".

*Original documents*

WikiLeaks does not accept money from governments or corporations.

A list of names and addresses of people said to belong to the British
National Party (BNP) was posted on the site in October 2009.

WikiLeaks also published e-mail exchanges involving US politician Sarah
Palin after her account was hacked.

The site claims to have information about corrupt banks, the UN and the Iraq
war that it is unable to publish while funds remain low.

While it has won awards for its work from the Economist and Amnesty
International, WikiLeaks has also fought more than 100 legal challenges.

"WikiLeaks has established a good name for itself and broken some good
stories," Julian Petley, chair of the Campaign for Press and Broadcasting
Freedom, told BBC News.

"One of the reasons why WikiLeaks is so useful is that it's able to put
original documents up - unfiltered by comment and editorial."

Investigative journalist Paul Lashmar said he had been "startled" by the
effectiveness of WikiLeaks in publishing suppressed information.

However he thought that the funding issue would not be easily resolved.

"(Web) users aren't interested in how the people behind sites make their
money," he said.

"The problem for the self-funding model is that sites like WikiLeaks will
not find it easy to attract funding through advertising.

"At some point people who care about free speech will realise that free
speech has to be funded, otherwise it's not free."
