Wikileaks

Freedom of speech is an entitlement that we have in this country. It is not an entitlement that everyone in this country has been able to enjoy. Wikileaks violated their right to the freedom of speech by releasing information that wasn't their personal information, nor was it information available to the general public.

The right to the freedom of speech is what drives social media. YouTube is full of videos with people practicing their freedom of speech. Those people are usually discussing and sharing their opinions related to mass general information that's available to the general public. We have a very vast media system in this country, so there's a lot of personal information that becomes public information.

What Wikileaks did was very brave, but I don't know if it was helpful. Did the American public benefit from the leaks? Did the people of any country benefit from the leaks? If there's a situation in which the leaks would provide proof that a certain demographic or group is being purposely oppressed or disenfranchised by a government, and those people were able to be relived from the oppression, then the leaks were warranted and have served a great purpose.
