They have hit the front page of nearly every major news source with a story that cements the connection between Wikileaks and anti-social vandalism and hacking in the minds of the public.
Well done, Anon.
All they have done is make it harder to get accross the point that Wikileaks is a legitimate news organisation (like The Guardian and the NYTimes who are also publishing the cables) and as such should be protected as exemplars of a free press.
Their actions are harmful, narcisistic and juvenile.
- jim_h 16y agoThe NYTimes and Guardian were founded in the 1800s. They have a long history behind them. Everybody knows who they are. If the government tried to shut them down, people will be seriously alarmed. Try to silence WikiLeaks and I beat that 95% (or more) of the average Joe on the street will have no idea who they are. Why do they care? They don't know and probably wouldn't care. Sometimes people need to stand up and protest. Their actions are as harmful as holding hands in the street and blocking traffic. People did that before and it was considered peaceful protest. Almost the same, but they blocked internet traffic.
