OpenLeaks
OpenLeaks is a planned whistle-blowing website. Daniel Domscheit-Berg, a former WikiLeaks staffer, announced the site in December, 2010[1], which he believes will address structural issues with the WikiLeaks organization[2].
At the time WikiLeaks was facing a number of threats: founder Julian Assange had been arrested in connection with sexual assault charges[3], the site had issues finding safe DNS and web hosting[4], and many companies had blocked payment to the site[5]. 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.
