It would be interesting to see how governments around the world react to this. They haven't taken WikiLeaks to kind and in some ways we know their decision. However, it would be great if some governments accept such a framework.


Indeed. However if this ends up being a peer to peer type project, then it doesn't matter how the government reacts to it. Embrace it, try to stifle it, doesn't matter.

A network of GlobaLeaks "nodes" makes the entire process infinitely effectively impossible to stifle at any level, unless you go the route of shutting off the internet as some regimes have done. And even then information finds a way out.

I love this idea.


If a government reacts to this, then you know the project was a success.


I think if a government reacts, we would know that this Whistle Blow framework has good potential. Unless adopted, I wouldn't label it as success. It would be another project like WikiLeaks which is waiting to be back door squeezed by the FBI and their equivalents.
