WikiLeaks Gets Competition in OpenLeaks

Julian Assange has competition. One of his associates has jumped ship and is starting a new WikiLeaks like site called OpenLeaks. Daniel Domscheit-Berg is asking for anonymous tips to post as he starts this endeavorer after having a falling out with Assange.

"Openleaks is a technology project that is aiming to be a service provider for third parties that want to be able to accept material from anonymous sources," former WikiLeaks spokesman Daniel Domscheit-Berg said in a documentary for Swedish broadcaster SVT, obtained by The Associated Press.

The site was created with the same goal as WikiLeaks: to provide a haven for whistleblowers with secret documents to publicize.

But there will be significant differences.

For one, Openleaks will not publish the leaks itself.

"To constrain the power of the site, we're splitting submission from the publication part," Domscheit-Berg told Forbes. "No single organization carries all of the responsibility or all of the workload."
