Are you kidding me? Wikileaks is giving is proof against conspiracy nuts that we have never had before. Just because people in your bubble don't care, doesn't mean that this isn't effective. Releases like this spark discussion and give people fuel to fight the fire.

Can I get a source on this?

I'm more inclined to believe a company then someone who clearly has a nack against Wikileaks.

I believe his post was awkwardly worded and that "Don't believe Wikileaks, they are a threat" is just a jab at how the media is portraying Assange and Wikileaks.
Yes, maybe I could have written that better. My attention is stuck between wikileaks and my professor talking about binary trees.

Typical 21st century bs.

> who clearly has a nack against Wikileaks.

Maybe not as clearly as you think.

The 'wikileaks is a threat' was part of the false narrative that the parent post says is being presented to the masses.
