Someone gets a leaks about something that the government of Haiti is doing. So they can't publish it unless they have something equally bad about every single government on the planet? You have to go find 200+ other leaks, only then you can publish them altogether, because otherwise it would be one-sided. What a stupid argument. Think, don't just repeat talking points.
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoYou are ignoring the point. All I am saying is that if you're a biased actor, such as say... Russia... a party that publishes everything they get is extremely easy to abuse. Someone could even choose to send WikiLeaks only the parts of the data they gathered that support their goals. Absolute positions such as WikiLeaks against careful decision making on what to leak and when can have unintended effects. Even if entirely well-meaning, they've opened themselves up to being exploited.
