Wikileaks and Julian Assange. First hearing these names and of the business they were in, there was no doubt in my mind that what Assange was doing and trying to achieve was what society needed…. total transparency on behalf of governments. This was when Collateral Damage was released.

Since then after the release of other wikileaks projects, it is clear and to no surprise that the government has been methodically trying to discredit and delegitimize the work of Julian Assange. I believe to the need of an independent body like Wikileaks to break the tough stories and ask question that many press mainstream corporations don’t report.  However, Understanding more on this issue I ask the question what good can come from hacking? The hacker’s belief is that all information should be free. Doesn’t sit well with me.
