Geert Lovink on the Politics of Wikileaks

Description

"Wikileaks is an example of a critical concept that blows up from the confinements of web 2.0 and participatory culture. There's no wiki involved, users are not redacting documents. What's interesting isn't Wikileaks itself but how it facilitates whistle blowers to give up sensitive documents online. The big shift is tightened security online, but also more projects that use software and digital media to create a powerful, disruptive phenomena."
