Comment Re:WikiLeaks is not Accountable (Score 4, Insightful) 116
They have ignored court orders. They publish whatever they like and people seem to automatically assume that everything they say is the absolute truth, despite they having no credible track record. WikiLeaks is not a wiki in the true sense, there is no collaboration, the only people allowed to post are their little Cabal. Wikipedia, despite it's problems allows people to challenge its decisions in a publicly accountable way.
I think you've missed the whole point of WikiLeaks.
It's designed to be immune to national court orders, because it's meant to report on abuses by governments and their legal processes.
It's also designed to be unaccountable because it's meant to be immune to pressure on individuals by governments and corporations.
The fact that wikileaks has to go to these lengths to ensure that reporting corruption and abuse is possible is a reflection on the societies we live in, not the organisation itself.
