What would you propose they do? Not leak documents based upon who the source is?
Actually as far as I remember, this has always been part of their method of operation from the beginning, and they explicitly state this: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/784873305463459841 https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/784873305463459841.
They are more than just someone who releases whatever is given to them- they attempt to vet the information and publicise it as well. Which are functions that probably should be done, but it's very hard to appear impartial when you do that...
- admax88q 10y agoYes they vet the information, but if the information is true, then they publish it, regardless of who the source was. Vetting the information does not necessarily mean vetting the source.
