povodne chceli overovat info cez public, to nebolo dobre – ludia nemaju resources, tak sa obratili na novinarov.
daniel domscheit-berg (schmitt) o wl pocul na konci 2007 via friends, zistil viac, quit job of computer consultant.
housing vo svedsku (kvoli silnemu free speech law) najprv chceli ‘tunnel traffic through PRQ to bypass IP bans), potom tam dali server.
ponukaju anonymizacne sluzby, VPN.. PRQ: “we accept everything that is legal under swedish law. regardless of how objectionable it is.
we don’t make moral judgements.”
smari mccarthy, “information activist”, island.
v 10/08 pada bankovy system na islande (17/18 je v haji?), wl leakne matros o bankach
hrafnsson (60?, artist?) pocul prvykrat v 8/09, pracoval vtedy ako reporter pre statnu tv
v islandskej TV assange+schmitt prezentovali ‘transparency haven’ ako novy biznis model pre IS (na sposob svajciarskeho tax haven)
IS transp haven proposal napisali za 4-5 hodin v hotelovej izbe from scratch: niekto z immi, mccarthy, jonsdottir (anti iraq war campainger), rob konkrep?, assange
akceptovany bez vyhrad(?) parlamentom
schmitt: society is just another system.
cables spolu s war reportami a videami dostali asi naraz, to sami nezvladnu – assange ukazal v reykjavickom kafe bagdad video hrafnssonovi
hrafnsson: hi res, good quality, excessive use of power to shoot people w/ 30mm bullets normally used to penetrate armed vehicles and tanks
assange: “different people talk about whether for US it is right or wrong to be in Iraq, nonetheless in this incident, even if you argue it was right
or wrong to be in iraq, even in that suburb at that time in hellicopter overlooking this wounded man crawling on the street,
it was not helpful for US that man to be shot”. reason? 1. it is a videogame. 2. they brag after kill
pre hrafnsson sa stalo obsesiou zistit identitu tych ludi, najma deti. letel do bagdadu, tv report pre islandsku telku,
nasiel rodinu deti a ukazal im video.
bolo dolezite oslovit NYT aj guardian, forced collaboration (miesto toho aby sutazili)
reakcia na video: je mozne ze wl a assange uz maju na svojich rukach krv nasich vojakov alebo afganskej rodiny. [asi fakt best co mohli povedat –
priamy utok naspat – obvinit ich z toho isteho (i ked bez dokazu) a ukazat ze tak spravili este vacsiu skodu]
iraq war logs analyzoval tim investigativny zurnalistov v londyne – TBIJ (data zurnalisti, atd, sef: iain overton).
reports written from incidents right after, day to day, through the eyes of soldiers.
a pri praci boli sledovani.
war data logs nehovoria o vojne cez typkov v air-conditioned rooms in green zones, ale cez smrt, incidenty v reali.
vo svedsku ziadal o azyl.
PP po dlhej debate prebrali web wikileaks.
svedsky sex: victim of personal revenge.
schmitt: zaber na assanga oslabilo organizaciu.
assange chcel vydat najvacsie ryby, schmitt to chcel postupne… velke si nechat na koniec
irc assange-schmitt o newsweek (anonymnom?) iview (asi nejaky clen wl):
schmitt: “face the fact that you don’t have much trust on the inside anymore. you behave like some kind of emperor or slave trader.”
schmitt: you have to be transparent yourself. you have to follow standards you expect from others.
takze daniel a dalsi (napr herbert snorrason, historian) su s nim v spore.
snorrason o assangovi: “if you have a problem with me, just piss off.”
potichu si rozbehli a zaciatkom dec spustili svoj projekt openleaks (asi sedia niekde v berline s club mate na stole)
mccarthy: information spreads borderlessly, states have to rethink how they approach info, if they dont they will cease to exist.
hrafnsson: “democracy without transparency is not democracy”.
