The transparency activism organization Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets) published copies of data available on Wikileaks’ website onto their own site on Sunday. The move comes after Wikileaks founder Julian Assange entered a plea agreement, part of which involved him deleting any unpublished classified information that Wikileaks hasn’t publicized and signing an affidavit stating he had done so.
Emma Best, a cofounder of DDoSecrets, told 404 Media that Assange’s plea deal crystalized the idea of archiving Wikileaks’ content and making it more easily accessible. Much of the Wikileaks website over the years has fallen into disrepair, with some downloads being unavailable. Ultimately, the original data on Wikileaks’ site might disappear, Best said.
