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 mos…
> The DNC leak for example includes lots of social security numbers and credit card numbers. Someone should teach people that you don't put SSN, CC, and other information in emails. Also, best not to put in emails things that you'd later not like made public (like getting angry at people and writing things you'd regret). I believe people got fired for what they said in the Sony hacks.
Yes, there is plenty of blame to go around. This doesn't let Wikileaks off the hook.

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.
Where do these numbers come from?

yes, the tweet is still live: (but the linked url is taken down so I don't see any reason not to share this tweet)

I think the misunderstanding (if there is any) is that they share this link by calling it 'theirs'. So I suppose that would be the reason the author was referring to them.

A leak is necessary when it demonstrates the government or the leaders are lying. There's zero democracy when the citizens aren't told what's going on.
But this is not the only information that wikileaks is leaking, so they seem to ascribe to another definition.
Not really, no.
Everything Wikileaks has leaked has been something that shouldn't have been secret.
In some cases we wish it would have stayed secret, but that's our fault (collectively) for breaking our own laws. For instance, had we properly investigated the behavior of our troops in Iraq there wouldn't have been a need to blow the whistle on the situation.
