Published Wed, 27 Nov 2024 13:48:10 GMT
Unlike any other point in history, hackers, whistleblowers, and archivists now routinely make off with terabytes of data from governments, corporations, and extremist groups. These datasets often contain gold mines of revelations in the public interest and in many cases are freely available for anyone to download. Revelations based on leaked datasets can change the course of history. In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg’s leak of military documents known as the Pentagon Papers led to the end of the Vietnam War. The same year, an underground activist group called the Citizens’ Commission to Investigate the FBI broke into a Federal Bureau of Investigation field office, stole secret documents, and leaked them to the media. This dataset mentioned COINTELPRO. NBC reporter Carl Stern used Freedom of Information Act requests to publicly reveal that COINTELPRO was a secret FBI operation devoted to surveilling, infiltrating, and discrediting left-wing political groups. This stolen FBI dataset also ...Montgomery Co. deal with biotech company to bring parking garage, affordable housing to Silver Spring

(CNN) — Los familiares de los tres rehenes muertos en Gaza por disparos de las tropas israelíes habían hablado regularmente con la televisión y los sitios web de noticias israelíes desde octubre, compartiendo sus sentimientos y pidiendo la liberación de sus parientes.“Durante el día estoy ocupado con las comunicaciones y las relaciones públicas.
