Wikipedia Co-Founder Unloads on Wikileaks
The co-founder of Wikipedia, Larry Sanger, really unloaded on Wikileaks today through his Twitter account:
I’ll go ahead and say the obvious: Wikileaks is an enemy of the U.S.—and not just the government. Deal with them accordingly.
[…]
How does Wikileaks repeatedly get massive troves of classified material?
[…]
Did a person or group in the U.S. govt have access to ALL these docs & leak them to Wikileaks? If so, that person or group is traitorous.
[…]
I’m probably one of the few Progressives who doesn’t care for what #wikileaks is doing right now. Leaking this kind of info = dangerous #p2
[…]
@wikileaks Speaking as Wikipedia’s co-founder, I consider you enemies of the U.S.—not just the government, but the people.
[…]
@wikileaks What you’ve been doing to us is breathtakingly irresponsible & can’t be excused with pieties of free speech and openness.
