Blog Post 13: WikiLeaks

 The government has responded to WikiLeaks in a few different matters to prevent the leak of classified information. Some of the ways the government has reacted has been by collaborating with website sources like Wired magazine to track down wiki leakers. Other actions by the government have been information requested like for Twiter for WikiLeaks supporter's information. Their request was denied due to freedom of speech and privacy policies. I do not believe the actions of the government in response to Wikileaks is the best thing to do. I believe that there shouldn't be secrets kept from the government to the common people, rather there should be communication. Wikileaks and Twitter are independent companies not owned by any nation. The internet is not owned by anyone, therefore information about a person should be kept among social media platforms. If the government keeps any secrets they must keep in mind that no matter what they hide the truth always comes out to the light, therefore there shouldn't be secrets kept among the government and the comment people among internet of speech restrictions.
