Writer's Block: The more you know

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Interesting assumptions in the question. Web sites are operated by people. People are responsible for their actions. So I would rephrase the question as:

"Should people be allowed to share confidential corporate and government information with the public?"

No. People are responsible for their actions -- including those who work for corporations and for governments. There is no right to "share" other people's information.

Wikileaks has endangered the national security of the United States and sabotaged important diplomatic and peace-building efforts. A strong case could be made that Wikileaks has killed people. Wikileaks has also revealed important details of corporate and governmental misconduct.

I do not feel that the good has outweighed the bad.
