I'm thinking we need a federated wiki leaks. Post your "secrets" and they propagate all over the world in a few minutes.
Wikileaks was centralised because they would not publish anything that would imminently endanger lives or ongoing operations. There was a detailed verification process to make sure the leaks were legit, and redacted where needed
alternatively...
Wikileaks was centralized because they would not publish anything that would imminently damage the goals they were attempting to achieve. There was just enough beurcracy to ensure leaks that were attacking allies were silenced and leaks exposing targets were amplified.
Do you have anything to support that claim? Julian was very persecuted for someone protecting allies
Ohhhhh, TIL. Thanks
Better yet, distributed. It's called bittorrent.
Kinda could just use Lemmy / Piefed like that already if it's text or images.
For documents we'd need a new feature
Hmmm, great idea!
