OpenLeaks to launch soon

The founder of OpenLeaks, a rival project to WikiLeaks, said Friday that the new service would begin in the next few weeks with a full release scheduled towards the end of the year.

However, the aim is to be less high-profile, he added. Since OpenLeaks will not be publishing any documents of its own, "we are unlikely to come under the same scrutiny as WikiLeaks"

... or provide any compelling reason to use OpenLeaks in preference to Wikileaks. Not publishing anything on a website means no-one will bother to visit it. I know if I was leaking a hot document, I would want it to have maximum coverage and exposure, else why take the risk?

too late for OpenLeaks, wikileaks is the real deal

Is this too yet to become yet another horrid tnant of society, "oh hey paul, u on openleaks?"

perhaps we should start adding mobile aps for these too, perhaps even firefox plugins, 'add to openleaks', perhaps ven automated rss feeds for all of your friends

Does privacy mean anything any more? We have a right to security of person don't we?

WikiLeaks has released over 500,000 documents. Please point to a single one that is a violation of a member of the public's right to privacy..

I don't think you really understand what WikiLeaks etc actually do, nevermind the contribution they can make, and are making, to the social development of our species.

Or perhaps you think the governments and corporates busy stacking up skeletons in their closets daily should continue to do so without ever thinking the public might find out?

There are enough skeletons to go round without compromising WikiLeaks. Cryptome, WikiLeaks and now Openleaks. I understand there are copycat sites specialising in different areas (ME, ex-Soviet Union, Balkan states, and so on). Also doing different stuff.

For example: one of the sites specialises in trawling the web and gathering scattered classified public domain information, putting it together in a coherent form and publishing it. Quite a useful service. There is much scattered classified information that only makes sense when gathered together.

I want to see leaks from China. “Chinese whistleblowers. Get your finger out!”

EXACCERY
Wikileaks, why the fixation with the west?
