Earned OpenLeaks - "relative" Wikileaks



On Habré several times appeared information that the former employees of the site Wikileaks, dissatisfied with the policy of Assange, decided to open an analogue of Wikileaks, but working somewhat differently. OpenLeaks will not yet publish any secret documents. Instead, the creators of the resource will help journalists and various non-profit organizations to obtain secret information of various kinds, for publication in the media. In other words, OpenLeaks will receive information in the same way as Wikileaks, but will not publish anything on its own. It turns out something like an information mediator. This scheme of work has many positive aspects - for example, the site and its creators will not harass the authorities, because no one will know how and how secret information leaked to any media.

As a result of the implementation of the new scheme of work, OpenLeaks will be able to act without problems for a long time, without persecutions and lawsuits. So far, OpenLeaks has been launched in alpha version, and developers recognize that there may be some problems with the work of the resource. There is a debugging of the whole scheme of work, plus the solution of some technical issues. In six months, the site will begin to work in beta mode, and at this time an active period will begin in the life of the site, with the establishment of the “anonymous source of information - OpenLeaks - media” chain.

The OpenLeaks developers have so far chosen the optimal pattern of interaction with stakeholders, trying to determine which parties are interested in what information. An anonymous document submission scheme has been developed, which allows the source to remain unknown. Scheme of the resource becomes more understandable after watching this video .

The creators of OpenLeaks are not going to conflict with anyone else, and the project will be headed by a special headquarters, all members of which have equal rights. Decision making is done collectively, not individually, as in the case of Wikileaks. The developers of OpenLeaks also said that they are not related to Wikileaks, and work autonomously. Indeed, OpenLeaks obviously cannot be a competitor of Wikileaks - because the scheme of work for resources is completely different.

Personally, it seems to me that OpenLeaks is a more viable scheme of work - without loud revelations, conflicts with the authorities and other things. As a result, the work of OpenLeaks can be much more efficient than Wikileaks. In any case, the initiative is interesting, as you think?
