There is a strong circumstantial case for WikiLeaks being either compromised or having caved to threats from someone. Most of the evidence points to Russia but in the intelligence world you can never be sure. Could just as easily be someone who wants us to think it is Russia. Welcome to the puzzle palace.
I think WikiLeaks started with noble intent but it's really the depths of naivete to think a small volunteer org can play spy games with the big boys.
What we need is a fully decentralized WikiLeaks type platform that is easy enough to use that regular non crypto nerds can use it. No identifiable centralized organization can really be trusted to be objective or impartial or to be resistant to compromise.
