Twitter is hiding any hashtag about wikileaks

So Assange has this "insurance" file of 1.4 geebeez of incriminating documents.
So say they let him go, this information never gets leaked? The guy loses all credibility. They don't let him go and someone from the staff lets loose the encryption key and then what, they kill him? For something less than 1st degree sexual assault? Very strange case, seems like a movie.

So Assange has been removed from Times 'person of the year' vote even though he had a clear first place position. This from a publication that said Wikileaks "Could become as important a journalistic tool as the Freedom of Information Act." The hypocrisy is just stupid.

my email to the times:
Assange has just been arrested. He put himself on the line. Perhaps you can have some journalistic integrity and follow the relevant story?
A Nazi Is Exposed, but Was He Hiding?
Fuck this article. It can obviously wait a few days.

I just don't understand this wikileak farago.
Assange seems a harmless but misguided self satisfied idealist douche. But tbh, nothing yet released has told us anything we don't already know or suspect.
The diplomatic cables offer little more than opportunities for lazy fucktard journalists to embarrass senior politicians on live TV ("Will you be apologising to Putin for calling him a mafia boss, Prime Minister?")
So far so what...
But the way the authorities are cracking down on him is outrageous (and counter-productive, as it elevates both wikileaks and assange a status neither deserves). And of course it brings out all the internet paranoia / conspiracy freaks which is never a good thing.

Seriously, watch The International. They didn't make that film because some LA screen fag had a good imagination.

"nothing yet released has told us anything we don't already know or suspect."
While an informed segment of the population might have "known" or suspected what was in there, I'd say that the larger portion didn't. And still don't; there's much left to uncover.
But that aside: knowing something and being able to prove it are different things.
- Exactly. Known to the skeptical is not the same as documented facts. Sometimes we forget not everyone is liberal.instrmntl
- these things can now be proven. Like proof Americans were targeting civilians in Iraq and AfghanistanDodecahedron

Pff - the people who didn't know about / suspect any of this stuff clearly aren't interested enough to really care, and after any initial outrage will slump back into their un-informed world.
What has happened as a result of this material being "uncovered"? A few people squirm with embarrassment, others have a good laugh at hapless diplomats. It's all just so... inconsequential.

We're talking about 250,000 documents, most of which haven't been analyzed by the press yet. It seems a little premature to say there's nothing of interest. Obviously there is tons of stuff that is newsworthy or previously unknown.
Even if it's boring, at least we now know that much more about the world of the past ten years, right? That it was a boring place:D

Wikileaks is not aiming to solely expose newsworthy nuggets. It does that too, but it also just provides a leak, which makes it very difficult for secrecy to continue to be transmitted across established routes. It could just be a list of the sandwiches ordered for a meeting, it doesn't matter, the point is that the powers that be know that their network is not secure, and that makes it hard to trust, which affects communication efficacity.
- is this good?hans_glib
- Sure. But that public service ("hey, tighten your security") isn't what it's about either. I'd say it's more about fixing what's wrong.Peter
- ...the broken shell for the omelet, so to speak.Peter
- Its not in the name of public service, its in the name of disrupting the channels of secrecy to hamper secret flow.Spookytim
- Its making it impossible to be 'secret'. The secret network has to start shutting itself down.Spookytim
