Snowden and WikiLeaks Clash Over How to Disclose Secrets http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/30/us/snowden-wikileaks.html?partner=rss&emc=rss His words prompted a swift and cutting reply from WikiLeaks, which had once come to his aid.

And note how Wikileaks lashes out just like Putin/Trump, proving that Wikileaks has no interest whatsoever in protecting innocent parties -- their release of the personal information of innocents is not a "mistake" -- it's their policy, as I've previously noted. It's basically like mowing down an entire crowd of innocent people with machine guns, because there's one designated "bad guy" hiding among them. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list https://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
