Isn't it Wikileaks that data dumped, not Manning? I guess you could say Manning is partially responsible by not giving the data to journalists instead? Not real

Isn't it Wikileaks that data dumped, not Manning? I guess you could say Manning is partially responsible by not giving the data to journalists instead? Not really sure.
- deepnet 10y agoNo one was compromised, the leak was an accident. Wikileaks encrypted the data and were going through it with other journalists to redact info such as agent details. They requested the White House also vet each article before publication as did Greenwald and Poitras for Snowden - the White House never responded in either case. Some portion of the raw data leaked by accident when a Guardian Journalist inadvertently published the decryption key. Remember this was all pre-Snowden and traditional Journalists were playing catchup with the necessary security. Even so no actual harm has ever been shown. Claims to the contrary have been made as vague press releases, but no actual harm has ever been shown. source - https://theintercept.com/2016/03/30/edward-snowden-noam-chomsky-glenn-greenwald-a-conversation-on-privacy/ https://theintercept.com/2016/03/30/edward-snowden-noam-chom...
