Wikileaks has operated through three distinct phases since its founding in 2006. The first phase involved a standard wiki model, where public readership could actively post and edit materials, and had a say in the types of materials accepted and how they were vetted. During this period, documents were released with minimal organized redacting, essentially as a straight dump to the web.
The second phase began with the release of the "Collateral Murder" video in April 2010, which was a highly curated, produced, and packaged political statement designed to illustrate a specific political point of view rather than merely inform.
The third phase, which became prominent with the release of the diplomatic cables in late 2010, involved working in close conjunction with a select group of news organizations to analyze, redact, and release documents in a curated manner, rather than dumping them on the internet or using them to illustrate a singular political point of view.
This phase marked a shift from direct public dissemination to a collaborative model with mainstream media partners, although this relationship later became strained due to legal actions and corporate embargoes.
The release of the 251,287 top-secret State Department cables in 2010 brought global attention to the inner workings of the United States government, revealing its views on national leaders, friendly dictators, and supposed allies.
This event, often referred to as "Cablegate," exposed what some describe as the dark truths of crimes committed in the name of national policy, including human rights violations, covert operations, and cover-ups.
The WikiLeaks Files, a book published in collaboration with WikiLeaks, presents a comprehensive analysis of these cables, arguing that the United States imposes a new form of imperialism on the world through tactics ranging from torture and military action to trade deals and "soft power" in the pursuit of expanding its influence.
The book includes an introduction by Julian Assange, who examines ongoing debates about freedom of information, international surveillance, and justice.
