Description - WikiLeaking: The Ethics of Secrecy and Exposure by Christian Cotton

WikiLeaks is famous - or infamous - for publishing secret material, including classified government documents, confidential videos and emails, and information leaked by whistleblowers, some of them anonymous, others revealing their identities. WikiLeaks claims to have compiled a database of more than ten million 'forbidden' documents. Its founder and leader, Australian activist Julian Assange proclaims that the public is entitled to the truth and that 'information wants to be free.'

WikiLeaks activities have polarized opinion, with some claiming its operations are traitorous and harmful, and others defending its releases as necessary exposure of wrongdoing.

In WikiLeaking: The Ethics of Secrecy and Exposure, professional philosophers with diverse opinions and backgrounds deliver their provocative insights into WikiLeaks.
