"Governments of the
Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from
Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of

sovereignty where we gather."

ReadIntroduction to WikiLeaks, published on the about page of the wikileaks.org website, August 7, 2010.
WikiLeaks is a multi-jurisdictional public service designed to protect
whistleblowers, journalists and activists who have sensitive materials
to communicate to the public. Since July 2007, we have worked across the
globe to obtain, publish and defend such materials, and, also, to fight
in the legal and political spheres for the broader principles on which
our work is based: the integrity of our common historical record and the
rights of all peoples to create new history.
a year ago wikileaks was as known as any other hacker project on the
chaos computer congress in berlin. its organizers which you remember
only by surname were talking about technical and organisational

transparency in information. the opposite movement against closing
down on information which belongs to the public, and a direct result
of a cyberpunk worldview, where an oligarchy of a few corporations
runs the world.

in an environment where their actual identities are not known.
