OpenLeaks is a planned whistle-blowing website. Daniel Domscheit-Berg, former German spokesman[1] for WikiLeaks, announced the site in December, 2010[2], which he believes will address structural issues with the WikiLeaks organization[3].
At the time WikiLeaks was facing a number of threats: founder Julian Assange had been arrested in connection with sexual assault charges, the site had issues finding safe DNS and web hosting, and many companies had blocked payment to the site. According to Domscheit-Berg's initial statements, he expected OpenLeaks to bypass WikiLeaks problems by serving only as a safe conduit for whistle-blowers to leak information, which would then be passed on to the press, instead of acting as a publisher itself. The organization also intends to be democratically governed, rather than being run by one person or a small group.[4] [5]
