It’s kind of ironic – Julian Assange, the man behind Wikileaks, has been quoted today as saying that the Internet “is not a technology that favours freedom of speech”, when it was the internet that allowed him to both access and distribute the millions of cables that have made Wikileaks a household name.
Julian Assange is claiming he “has to” write his memoirs, to help cover legal fees and the astronomical running costs of WikiLeaks. If ever a book deserved to be leaked in draft PDF form online prior to publication, it’s this.
Surprise, surprise: WikiLeaks-related headlines continue to explode at the end of the week. Most compelling? The old guard hackers of 2600 magazine condemning Anon kiddies, a Homeland Security employee protesting government access bans, and American spying charges looming over Assange.
