#12This article doesn't make it clear what was actually leaked. Was it the actual private info or links to it? Was this info already publicly available? Honestly this article seems like retaliation for the earlier DNC leak and is heavy on accusations, light on facts.
The article is incoherent because it originally accused Wikileaks of publishing the documents but was then corrected to state that Wikileaks only linked to documents published by third parties.

Anyone who has been paying attention knows that WikiLeaks has always been careless about sharing private information that puts ordinary people at risk. The only time they've been somewhat responsible is when they partnered with newspapers who know better.
The DNC leak for example includes lots of social security numbers and credit card numbers. If they cared at all they could have done a search and replace to get most of them.

"@Sulliview @TheWorldPost Please issue a correction. The story is a fabrication. WikiLeaks did not publish the databases concerned"

The attachments have excel files which are effectively databases since they contain the addresses and phone numbers of private citizens (i.e. not members of the Turkish govt).

#17"Bloody and brutal coup"... oh the hiperbole.
The brutality seems to have been mostly by Erdogan supporters; though this is probably not what the article was trying to convey...
The casualty numbers are out there.. no need for "seems"
Anti-coup casualties: 161 civilians and police officers
Pro-coup casualties: 104 military
I'm no fan of Erdogan's "reforms" after the coup, but there's no need to alter the narrative in favour of a preferred agenda.

I would rather they didn't manipulate or censor their leaks. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

Would you mind sharing your SSN, credit card numbers, address, and date of birth?
We don't yet know if that information will be useful to the world, because we didn't really look at it, but we'd like to have it out in the public record - for completion's sake. I'm sure it'll be valuable to someone.
I realize that you may not be involved in any impropriety, but you may have at one point e-mailed someone who is, or someone who works for someone who is.
No more secrets, right?
