Openleaks To Rival WikiLeaks

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

Former WikiLeaks deputy, Daniel
Domscheit-Bergto, plans to start
a rival web site, Openleaks. The
web site has no content on it except
a logo and the message "Coming soon!"

In an interview with the OWNI technology
web site, Domscheit-Berg didn't go into
reasons for his disagreement with WikiLeaks
but suggested it strayed from its mission.

"In these last months, the organization has
not been open any more, it lost its open-source
promise," he explained, adding that Openleaks
plans to provide the means for leaked
information to be published, without itself
being a publisher.

Domscheit-Berg, had been involved with
German hacker group the Chaos Computer Club.

Openleaks would begin trials in early 2011 and
turn to bigger media later, Domscheit-Berg
confirmed. It currently has 10 members.

Hackers And Activists Gear-Up For War on "Wikileaks Phenomena"

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

Fighting lines between supporters
of the whistle blowing web site
WikiLeaks and its critics began
to form on Sunday. Supporters
raised numerous copies of the
site on the Internet. The United
States put pressure on Switzerland
not to offer a haven to the site's
founder, Julian Assange.

Major Internet companies stopped
services to WikiLeaks. Activists
created hundreds of like sites that
host exact copies of another site's
content, making censorship difficult.

An informal group of hackers and
activists declared war on Sunday
against enemies of Mr. Assange. They
called on supporters to attack
sites/companies that don't support
WikiLeaks and to spread the leaked
material online.

The American ambassador to Switzerland,
Donald S. Beyer Jr., responded in the
weekly magazine NZZ am Sonntag that the
Swiss should carefully consider whether
to provide shelter to someone who is on
the run from the law.

On Friday, WikiLeaks looked for refuge in
a diffuse web of financial and Internet
infrastructure spread across Europe
especially in Switzerland.
