"WikiLeaks Isn’t Whistleblowing" , op-ed di Zeynep Tufekci oggi sul NYT (di cui far tesoro, imho, soprattuto per molti giornalisti/opinionisti nostrani, ovvero essere politically correct qui non paga, se mai dovesse):
 

Whistle-blowing, as Mr. Ellsberg did, is a time-honored means for exposing the secret machinations of the powerful. But the release of huge amounts of hacked data, with no apparent oversight or curation, does the opposite. Such leaks threaten our ability to dissent by destroying privacy and unleashing a glut of questionable information that functions, somewhat unexpectedly, as its own form of censorship, rather than as a way to illuminate the maneuverings of the powerful.

The hacked emails did provide the public with some notable information. But any benefit of such mass data releases does not undo their harm. And that harm is relevant whether or not the data was stolen by a foreign government seeking to influence this election.
