SCARY: Wikileaks Considering Doxxing All Verified Twitter Users

For those who think it’s all fun and games with Wikileaks revealing information to the public, consider this: Wikileaks is thinking of invading citizens’ privacy by creating an "online database" with the personal information of all verified Twitter users.

We are thinking of making an online database with all "verified" twitter accounts & their family/job/financial/housing relationships.

Verified Twitter accounts display a blue icon to indicate that the person tweeting from the account is authentic.

Wikileaks has no conscience about those whom it might damage. As Gizmodo reported last July, Wikileaks published 19,252 emails from top US Democratic National Committee members, many of which included personal information about innocent donors including credit card, social security numbers, and passport numbers.

The Associated Press followed up in August, saying of Wikileaks:

But its spectacular mass-disclosures have also included the personal information of hundreds of people — including sick children, rape victims and mental health patients, The Associated Press has found. In the past year alone, the radical transparency group has published medical files belonging to scores of ordinary citizens while many hundreds more have had sensitive family, financial or identity records posted to the web. In two particularly egregious cases, WikiLeaks named teenage rape victims. In a third case, the site published the name of a Saudi citizen arrested for being gay, an extraordinary move given that homosexuality can lead to social ostracism, a prison sentence or even death in the ultraconservative Muslim kingdom.

Now Wikileaks is threatening ordinary citizens at-large.
 
They need to just do it or STFU.



Tolerating degeneracy leads to degradation of our culture.
Yeah this is probably another one of their dumb gimmicks. Like how they were totally going to bring down "a major bank" and it never happened.
 
I wonder when Ecuador is going to get pissed off enough to give him the boot. The only reason they gave him asylum was to stick it to the Brits. Maybe some Ecuadorian poiticians families will get doxed with this.

He's already pissed them off enough that they cut down his Internet (though idk if it's been restored). I'd imagine as soon as Correa's out of office they'll turf him out.

Hopefully once this drama queen gets the boot Wikileaks can get back to the business of actually protecting whistleblowers.
 
Hopefully it actually happens this time.
 
I forget, but weren't there posts calling that this exact thing would happen right after Twitter annouced that any spaz could get verified?

Yeah, IIRC, several people here said that this would happen, and we all called it doxing yourself to Twitter for a blue checkmark.
 
What is the point of getting a verified Twitter anyway ? Unless you're an expert or important personality in your field (in which case it's justified so any random sperg can't post shit in your name), why would you need to get verified if you're a common schmuck ?

Unwarranted self-importance. A lot of spergs see "verified" next to a name and assume they must be talking to someone important. Attention whores love that.
 
One day you gotta come out of there assange. One day Ecuador is going to need something from the US, and your going to be sent over. Maybe you can share a cell with manning.
