Visibility

I guess everyone is aware of the hay is around Wikileaks recently. Overall, if I got it, the general idea, it sounds like we already knew all that and so it was clear proof that nothing should be published. Leaving aside the inconsistency of this view, we may well say that if Assange had merely do a job standard journalist (publish anything without thinking about the health or life of anyone, but do on paper, roughly), we would rather applauded. I guess the problem is wide contraption: hundreds of thousands of documents easily accessible.

It's funny, but it reminded me this morning to cases that have come to Wikipedia. Business a bit like (legal ones there; although at the moment, nothing has yet been ruled on the legality of Wikileaks leaks).

In March 2009, the world finds the publication of the flowchart of DCRI the article on WP. Bistro quickly notice that if this organization is covered by solicitor-defense, complete information is available simply by looking at the Gazette. Perfectly free. Wikipedia is content just to increase visibility.

In July 2009, we learn Wikipedia that reproduces 10 original plates of the Rorschach test with standard answers. Of course, the plates are in the public domain. Obviously, these answers are everywhere. Again, Wikipedia increases visibility. Hence ire of some psychiatrists.

In August 2010, concluding The Mousetrap which is discussed. Christie's play based on the idea that we should not disclose who the murderer is (in my opinion, the success of the play is mainly due to the feeling we should have after its representation to be part of a small community, responsible and informed). Inevitably, WP told precisely who is the murderer. Whatever it is perfectly possible with a simple Google to find it without even going through the encyclopedia: Wikipedia gives again too much about visibility.

I guess before we could afford to give free access to this information, it was impossible to publish (it was possible but too expensive, not easy enough read, etc..) . In short, we had the right, except that in practice it was not entitled. Now it is easy to use that right. And as of right, it answers "but before it was not like that, it breaks with tradition. "Yep, as you had rights unnecessary, it would ... Expect, under the false pretense of morality, what you Rabiot.
