WikiLeaks threatens to start its own Twitter because of ‘cyber feudalism’ - Polidicks

[QUOTE=person11;50766790]They went from just leaking amazing things to leaking DNC-Hillary things and also shitposting on twitter. [/QUOTE] It's only amazing if it's not about people I like.

[QUOTE=mooman1080;50768849]It's only amazing if it's not about people I like.[/QUOTE] What I meant was, they leaked many things, and are now mostly getting press by leaking very specific stuff against specific people. Obviously not super into the DNC or Clinton, but you have to admit they've been targeted more than everyone else recently.

I don't get it, do you think they just write the script on corruption? The DNC doing this shit is a big deal. If there was something else as huge or at all for them to leak they would be.

Furthermore it is election time and if you honestly think they aren't going to leak things they have about a MAJOR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE then you're kind of deluded.

I know Wikileaks can't pick and choose, and I also know they would not pass up a chance to post what they've posted. A lot goes into what they do. I guess I would put the blame more on Guccifer 2.0 then. Or maybe the press for discussing some leaks more than others. It's not like I did not want this stuff leaked, I am disgusted with the DNC, especially with their plans to use Bernie's Jewishness against him.

Was about time they hosted their Twitter. I hope they host decentralized social nets now (gnusocial anyone?)

You are truly fearless! [QUOTE]Yes — this “leak” actually contains spreadsheets of private, sensitive information of what appears to be every female voter in 79 out of 81 provinces in Turkey, including their home addresses and other private information, sometimes including their cellphone numbers. If these women are members of Erdogan’s ruling Justice and Development Party (known as the AKP), the dumped files also contain their Turkish citizenship ID, which increases the risk to them as the ID is used in practicing a range of basic rights and accessing services. The Istanbul file alone contains more than a million women’s private information, and there are 79 files, with most including information of many hundreds of thousands of women. That’s right. We are talking about millions of women whose private, personal information has been dumped into the world, with nary an outcry. Their addresses are out there for every stalker, ex-partner, disapproving relative or random crazy to peruse as they wish. And let’s remember that, every year in Turkey, hundreds of women are murdered, most often by current or ex-husbands or boyfriends, and thousands of women leave their homes or go into hiding, seeking safety. I have confirmed that these files indeed appear to contain correct private information by confirming that dozens of my friends and family members in multiple cities were included in that database, to my horror, with accurate private data. The files also include whether or not these women were AKP members — right after a brutal and bloody coup attempt to overthrow the AKP. Another file appears to contain sensitive information, including Turkish citizenship IDs of what appears to be millions of AKP members, listed as active or deceased. Yet another file contains the full names, citizenship IDs and cellphone numbers of hundreds of thousands of AKP election monitors — the most active members of the party.[/QUOTE] Fuck Wikileaks.

Why would it include the information about a bunch of women from Turkey?

[QUOTE=Swilly;50773265]Because I'm going to trust Huffington Post about 'confirming' anything.[/QUOTE] It's on a few other sources. Also, I'd rather trust Huffpost than Wikileaks, after everything they've said in the last few days.
