Not terribly surprised, it's been well known that Assange leaks what he wants, and doesn't care much after the leak. A lot of information, like the email "dumps" didn't have valid DKIM headers for one. A lot of their stuff is questionable at best now.
- microcolonel 9y agoThat form of censorship was not alleged. You are imagining things. They're accusing him of attempting to censor the personal stuff, such as the sexual misconduct allegations. Personally I'm mixed on whether those belong in a documentary about WikiLeaks given how irrelevant they are to the organizational purpose.
- Operyl 9y agoNo, I'm not referring to the article in this case. I'm saying just in general, Wikileaks is hardly the angel some people make it out to be sometimes.
- ceejayoz 9y ago> Personally I'm mixed on whether those belong in a documentary about WikiLeaks given how irrelevant they are to the organizational purpose. It's a documentary about Assange. Why would it not include "personal stuff"?
- microcolonel 9y agoI was under the (perhaps wrongful) impression that it was about WikiLeaks in main, and referenced Assange only to serve that topic.
- kbenson 9y agoThe rape accusations and Assange himself are intricately tied to Wikileaks, how it functions, and responses to it's actions. Not including those accusations or his response to them when they were widely speculated by some to be brought force by Sweden at the behest of the United States in retaliation to Wikileaks would be odd in a documentary about Wikileaks that happened to cover that period.
- ceejayoz 9y agoAll the coverage I've seen indicates it's primarily an Assange documentary, and that it was one even in the earlier cut that Assange approved of. Even if it were explicitly a Wikileaks documentary, I don't see how Assange and his personal life wouldn't be a fair subject. A documentary about the Civil War will probably include info on Lincoln, a WWII one will probably talk about Hitler and his life, etc.
- mejari 9y agoThose allegations caused the leader of the group to take refuge in a nation's embassy and stay there for years. They seem incredibly relevant to the organization, regardless of it's "purpose".
- wyager 9y agoCan you please provide sources? I verified a many of the DKIM headers myself and they were all fine. This was actually one of the strongest pieces of evidence in favor of the legitimacy of the emails. Also, I'm not sure why you say "it's well known"; it's not known to me, and I'm fairly interested in this area.
- Operyl 9y agoHey, It's definitely been some time, but I noticed (personally verifying DKIM records) that a good chunk of the Podesta emails didn't pass. I'd have to dig out those exact emails again, unfortunately.
- sillysaurus3 9y agoThis probably isn't a claim you should be making without evidence.
- Judson 9y agoI checked DKIM records and they did pass. Many emails did not have DKIM headers, but I never found one that contained DKIM headers, and failed validation.
- Operyl 9y agoHmm, interesting. I'm now downloading the archive and going to run through and check again. Edit: Huh, guess Wikileaks has a hard 40Mbit down limit for downloads, this might take a while. Edit 2: Not sure if this is due to time since leaks, and weirdness, but one such email I found was https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/41063 https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/41063 dkim.ValidationError: body hash mismatch (got xYeNHE1y7S7c90FEmj0Clvuu8UkskqNWL3LiuMxCrsc=, expected SFTNrt5rWQXzb3TEj9vxbo/FLGDSOiYFg+04PjFRv3A=) While I'm finding valid headers, I'm finding a good portion of negatives too. I have to sort through the spam emails in his inbox first though (lots of irrelevant DKIM failures). Edit 3: Just some numbers (which are definitely inflated from the spam emails I found, by how much I'm not sure): root@ubuntu-512mb-nyc1-01:/mnt/volume-nyc1-01# cat output | wc -l 9981 root@ubuntu-512mb-nyc1-01:/mnt/volume-nyc1-01# cat totest | wc -l 28024 root@ubuntu-512mb-nyc1-01:/mnt/volume-nyc1-01# ls out/ | wc -l 50887 Edit 4 (and the last): The quick script thrown together to put numbers together, https://gist.github.com/Omeryl/c6cbe603721f5671b9056ca127399946 https://gist.github.com/Omeryl/c6cbe603721f5671b9056ca127399.... I don't have the time to go through and see how many of those messages are spam that are just failing to validate, etc. It's worth noting that some messages may be failing to validate because x= is past, etc, as well.
