Wikileaks is a non profit organization that shares classified media from anonymous sources, the website launched in 2006 under the sunshine press organization. Originally the site was designed as a user-editable wiki, but has moved towards a more traditional publication model and no longer accepts either user comments or edits. The organization is run by a global group of volunteers, who publish material that allege government, corporate, or individual misconduct. The primary interest of wikileaks is in exposing oppressive regimes in Asia, Africa, and the middle east, but also to assist the people globally who wish to reveal unethical behavior. This non profit organization is dependent of public donations receiving its main financing through conventional bank transfers and online payment systems. I feel that wikileaks can be a good thing it creates an outlet for the people to express their concerns of unethical conduct without out the fear of being in the spotlight or receiving any kind of backlash thanks to the anonymity provided.
