I’d describe it the opposite way. The lesson learned from Wikileaks was two-fold: use digital tools well, but be aware there’s always a physical pressure point.

I’d describe it the opposite way. The lesson learned from Wikileaks was two-fold: use digital tools well, but be aware there’s always a physical pressure point. Wikileaks became more whacky after JA was tethered to an embassy. Similarly, in this case, the potential problem is fines for the reporters working with the material, not the chance that it could disappear.
