Julian Assange - Wikileaks

Julian Assange is the creator os Wikileaks and a very interesting man at that. In a recent interview I watched on YouTube, Assange talked about why he started Wikileaks and where he sees it going in the future. Assange says he created Wikileaks because "the public needs to know". As I wrote about today on my exam, hacktivist groups, like Wikileaks see their actions as helping the general public. They believe that the information they are leaking onto the web is what the public needs and wants to see. In future years, Assange sees Wikileaks growing and continuing to leak valuable information to the public. Law enforcement absolutely hates Wikileaks and would do essentially anything to try and bring it done. In order to continue operations, Assange needs to protect his website so that the authorities don't seize his URL and end Wikileaks forever.
