Wikileaks aims to bring important information to the public by anonymously leaking classified documents and partnering with journalists to verify and report on their contents. It argues this transparency reduces corruption and strengthens democracy, having previously exposed injustices like evidence of torture and civilian deaths in Iraq. However, critics argue that verifying stories is difficult and some leaks could threaten national security. The document encourages supporting Wikileaks and using encryption tools like Tor to enable anonymous leaking and access to the website.

WikiLeaks Presentation
WikiLeaks claims to specialize in publishing censored government materials about war, spying, and corruption, but its authenticity and the agenda of its founder Julian Assange are contested. Some see Assange as pursuing a personal vendetta rather than transparency. WikiLeaks has published materials from Guantanamo Bay, the Afghan war, and emails from the DNC and John Podesta, which revealed insider information and tactics, but critics argue WikiLeaks and Assange are not truly dedicated to radical transparency and have their own aims. The authenticity and truthfulness of WikiLeaks' information is important because it shapes public opinion on important issues, so if WikiLeaks manipulates information it could easily influence consensus.
Wikileaks
WikiLeaks is an international organization that publishes leaked documents, founded in 2006. It is run by Julian Assange and aims to ensure whistleblowers are not prosecuted for sharing sensitive information. WikiLeaks analyzes submissions before release and has published numerous leaks over the years, including the Collateral Murder video, Afghan and Iraq war logs, and US diplomatic cables. It has faced criticism and attempts to shut it down through denial of service attacks and cutting of funding sources, but continues operating through decentralized hosting and anonymous donations.
Citizen journalism slides
Citizen journalism utilizes social media to improve traditional media by allowing the public to collect, report, analyze and disseminate news and information. Social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube benefit citizen journalists by enabling them to instantly upload and discuss thoughts and news. While speeding the spread of information, social media can sometimes result in misleading news due to human tendencies to embellish stories. However, citizen journalism also fills gaps ignored by traditional media and leads professional journalists to new stories through on-the-spot footage and pictures shared on social networks.
Fake news
Fake news is deliberately false information spread through print, broadcast, and social media to mislead people for political or financial gain. It is written with sensationalist headlines to attract attention. Related terms include post-truth, where feelings trump facts; clickbait, headlines designed to get clicks; disinformation, deliberately false information spread by governments; and alternative facts, which are false statements. To avoid being misled, one should get information from multiple sources, question assumptions, check for biases, and be open to different perspectives. Facts are facts regardless of opinions.

Propaganda in media
Propaganda is designed to influence and manipulate audiences through the selective presentation of information. It aims to change emotions, behaviors, and attitudes. While propaganda was negatively associated with wartime uses, it can also be employed in positive ways like promoting health and safety issues. Examples of propaganda techniques include name calling, testimonials from famous people, appealing to common values, encouraging bandwagon behavior, manipulating information, and transfers that help audiences envision themselves.
Agenda Setting Theory
Agenda-setting theory posits that the news media determines the issues the public thinks are important by focusing attention on specific topics and influencing perceptions. Research by McCombs and Shaw showed strong correlations between the media agenda and public agenda on election issues, indicating the media influences what the public thinks about even if not what to think. The media sets its agenda through gatekeepers and influences those with high needs for orientation the most.

Social Media and Journalism
Looking at how social media is influencing the way we consume news, who can produce and publish news and how these new platforms are influencing journalistic practices
Social Media Activism
Social Media Activism (SMA) is the use of web-based platforms, applications and technologies to bring about political or social change and has the power to disseminate information rapidly and globally. It has played a central role in recent worldwide movements for change.
We discuss current trends and limitations, the main players and their changing market share, and innovations in the on-line activism arena.
Traditional players like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are now being challenged by new tools and activist specific spaces.
Security concerns have led to the creation of tools such as Pidder, Crabgrass and OTR.
SMA is not always a force for good. Users must be responsible, evaluate the veracity of information and understand the potential to propagate crime.
Ultimately, SMA can only be a part of the movement for change - it still needs brave people on the streets to challenge the status quo.
Cultivation Theory
Cultivation theory posits that heavy television viewing shapes viewers' perceptions of the world by presenting an exaggerated view of violence. Specifically, it suggests that heavy viewers come to see the world as a scary place, overestimate crime rates, and feel less safe. The theory also argues that television has become society's dominant storyteller and influences viewers through constant exposure to the same portrayals, especially of marginalized groups as more likely to be victims of violence.
Foreign Correspondents & International Reporting
Foreign correspondence refers to news coverage of international events and locations by journalists sent abroad from their home country. Over time, as technology advanced, more foreign correspondents were sent overseas but costs have led most print and television outlets to reduce their international presence. Now, foreign news coverage relies more on wire services, citizen journalists, and occasional deployments of reporters to cover major stories.
Using social media in online news
The document provides tips for journalists on using Twitter to find sources, cover stories, and reach audiences. It discusses how Twitter can be used to find breaking news, sources for stories, and story ideas by following newsmakers, experts, and local figures. The document also recommends live-tweeting events, including hashtags and links in tweets, and citing sources to build an audience and enhance regular coverage. Overall, the document outlines various strategies journalists can employ to utilize Twitter's capabilities for newsgathering and promotion.

Exploring Media Theory Lecture 7 Marshall McLuhan
This lecture provides an overview of Marshall McLuhan's influential media theory work. McLuhan argued that the medium or form of communication is more important than the content. He believed each era was dominated by a different communication medium that shaped human experience, moving from oral to print to electronic. McLuhan is considered a "formalist" who focused on how media technology structures society rather than what messages mean to audiences. While criticized for lacking evidence, McLuhan's work predicted trends of new media and the "global village."
Fake news and how to combat it
I was recently asked to put together a presentation on the fake news phenomenon for discussions with leading journalists and media institutions in a developing country, with extremely poor media literacy but strong growth around social media use, on how to both identify misleading content and also stem its flow, reach and influence.

Fake news
This document discusses how to identify fake news and evaluate the reliability of news sources. It begins by defining fake news as intentionally deceptive information created to mislead readers, often by playing on biases. While fake news has existed for a long time, it is especially prevalent online. The document provides tips on how to determine the truthfulness of a claim, including checking if a source provides evidence from reputable studies or if it is trying to convince readers of a particular viewpoint. It recommends vetting sources by checking their domain extension and researching their credibility. Examples are given to show how to compare news sites for reliability and biases. Readers are encouraged to fact check questionable claims from social media by investigating stories from trusted news outlets.
Fake news
This document discusses what constitutes fake news and provides tips on how to identify it. Fake news are hoaxes and propaganda designed to look like real news stories for profit or to damage reputations. Anyone can now publish news, making it harder to distinguish from real journalism. To avoid fake news, carefully examine sources and check unknown outlets on fact-checking sites. Rather than rely solely on social media, consume a variety of news from trustworthy sources and do your own research.
Fake News Workshop Powerpoint Presentation
This document outlines an agenda for a workshop on identifying and combating fake news. It introduces the presenter and provides context on what constitutes fake news and why it exists. Specifically, it discusses completely fabricated news, manipulated news, and biased news. It then explores reasons fake news exists, such as some creators making money from ad revenue and how critical thinking diminishes when people are angry or fearful. The workshop further explains how fake news can change history, lead to violence, and widen divisions. Activities are included to examine confirmation bias and rank the credibility of news sources. Participants are directed to the presenter's library guide for ongoing tools and resources to thwart fake news.
Fact-checking in an Era of Fake News and Misinformation
This is a webinar organised by the Nigerian Library Association, Delta State Chapter, in collaboration with Digital Citizens.
The aim of the webinar is to equip library and information professionals with necessary technologies and strategies needed to play key roles in the dissemination of correct information, and in the information literacy of citizens, in this era of fake news and misinformation.
FIGHTING FAKE NEWS
Dr. Brian Housand gave a presentation on teaching critical thinking in a post-truth world. He discussed how the rise of fake news and speed of information sharing online has left many people unprepared to distinguish real from false information. Some key challenges in identifying fake news are the speed at which information spreads versus the time needed for fact-checking, information overload on social media, and a growing crisis of authenticity for verifying sources. Dr. Housand recommended teaching students tools like the CRAAP test to develop skills in evaluating currency, relevance, authority, accuracy and purpose of information to help identify fake news.
Data journalism
Data can be the source of data journalism, or it can be the tool with which the story is told—or it can be both.
Fake news presentation.pptx
This document discusses the issues surrounding fake news and how to build information literacy skills to identify fake news. It notes that trust in media is low, especially among younger people, and that social media and the internet have made it more difficult to separate real from fake information. College students had trouble evaluating the reliability of different news sources. The document recommends developing critical thinking skills to evaluate sources, expanding one's sources of information, and corroborating stories with multiple verified sources. It also discusses technological tools and remaining skeptical of all information.
Dark web
The internet contents an average person see on internet is not the whole web. So the remaining is called dark web. This presentation is about types of web and mainly on dark web.
Data journalism presentation
Data journalism involves using numerical data and data visualization to enhance traditional journalism. It represents an overlap of journalism, computer science, design, and statistics. The key aspects of data journalism include finding, cleaning, analyzing, visualizing, and publishing data to tell compelling stories. Becoming a data journalist requires skills like SQL, data cleaning, visualization tools, and the ability to find meaningful stories within data. The benefits are being able to leverage large datasets to find and explain stories more quickly and engage audiences.
The Deep and Dark Web
The document discusses the deep web and dark web. It defines the deep web as content that is not indexed by search engines, including academic databases and government records. The dark web refers to hidden services that can only be accessed through anonymity software like Tor. The document outlines how Tor and other anonymous browsers work to protect users' identities and locations. It provides examples of whistleblowers and leaks that have relied on dark web anonymity, such as WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden. In the end, it argues that while dark nets enable free speech, they should be used wisely.
Internet Activism & Hacktivism
Internet activism uses communication technologies like websites and email to organize people around issues like human rights and the environment in order to create social change. Hacktivism combines hacking and activism by using techniques like website defacements and denial of service attacks to disrupt services and draw attention to political or social causes in a nonviolent way. While activism and hacktivism can be effective in achieving goals, they also face criticisms like furthering divisions in society and potentially disrupting free speech.

ETHICS10 - Wikileaks and the Ethics of Whistleblowing
This document discusses Wikileaks and whistleblowing. It provides background on Wikileaks, its founder Julian Assange, and notable whistleblowers. It examines the ethics and legality of whistleblowing, how technology has enabled anonymous leaks, and debates around high-profile leaks like Bradley Manning's. While leaks can expose wrongdoing, they also sometimes disclose private information without consent or endanger lives. There are no simple answers around when and how whistleblowing is justified.
Wikileaks Awareness and Support Campaign
This document discusses whistleblowers, Wikileaks, and web democracy. It defines whistleblowers as people who expose illegal or unethical activities within organizations. It provides examples of famous whistleblowers like Daniel Ellsberg and their leaks. Wikileaks is described as a non-profit that publishes materials given anonymously by whistleblowers, coupled with investigative journalism. It summarizes some of Wikileaks' major leaks and discusses debates around whether their activities are illegal. The document argues web democracy and freedom of information on the internet are important for transparency and accountability of governments and corporations.

Wikileaks
The document discusses WikiLeaks, an international non-profit organization that publishes classified media leaks and news stories. It was founded in 2006 by journalists, activists and technologists from several countries. Julian Assange is described as the director. WikiLeaks states that it bases its work on Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which protects freedom of expression. Some of WikiLeaks' major leaks include the Guantanamo Bay operating manual, the Afghan War Diary, and over 250,000 US diplomatic cables. These leaks have revealed hidden war crimes and government corruption but have also been controversial.

Wikileaks script
Wikileaks is an online news source created by Julian Assange that publishes confidential information from governments and organizations. It has released information that some see as harmful while others view it as providing transparency. Assange is currently under investigation and isolated due to Wikileaks' activities. The site allows anonymous posting which can spread misinformation but also aims to inform the public about global affairs, though it has faced blocking by some governments concerned about confidential documents being disclosed.

Med312 spies and whistleblowers lecture
Whistleblowing and radical transparency on the internet have a long history but changing contexts.

Maintaining anonymity while revealing information is challenging as governments and corporations work to reassert control over information flows online through market dominance and security policies.
Wikileaks - Victoria University - 2018
This document provides an overview of WikiLeaks, including its background, purpose, effects on society, governments' responses, advantages, disadvantages, and privacy issues. It notes that WikiLeaks was founded in 2006 with the goal of publishing confidential information from anonymous sources to promote transparency. While it has created more accountability, it has also threatened national security and damaged diplomacy. Governments and organizations have responded angrily to leaks but others see benefits to greater transparency. However, WikiLeaks publications have also violated individuals' privacy and potentially put some in physical danger.
Information Literacy Paper
This document discusses the debate around regulating free speech in journalism. It notes that while freedom of the press is important, complete freedom could enable threats if all secrets are published. Terrorism is often used to justify regulation of what journalists research and publish. Laws like the SHIELD Act effectively limit what security journalists can publish but also keep information out of the hands of those who would harm the US. The document argues that some regulation, like redacting certain details from reports, can help reduce security threats while still informing the public.

Wikileaks is a non-profit organization that collects and disseminates classified information from governments in an effort to promote transparency. The release of documents like the "Collateral Murder" video and diplomatic cables has caused embarrassment for governments and damaged relationships. Governments responded by trying to prosecute Julian Assange and find the sources of the leaks. The leaks revealed sensitive information and vulnerabilities in data security, fueling efforts to better protect classified information.

Information Ethics & WikiLeaks
WikiLeaks is an organization that publishes leaked documents and information from anonymous sources. It was founded in 2006 with the goal of exposing oppressive regimes. WikiLeaks has published documents like the Guantanamo Bay operating procedures, Scientology documents, Sarah Palin's emails, and the Afghanistan and Iraq war logs. WikiLeaks' publication of diplomatic cables in 2010 led to denial of service attacks against their site and companies cutting ties with them. There is an ongoing debate about the ethics of WikiLeaks' actions and whether they help transparency or threaten security and privacy.
Critical Approach Wikileaks Make More Transparent Media
Publishing improves transparency, and this transparency creates a better society for all people. Better scrutiny leads to reduced corruption and stronger democracies in all society’s institutions, including government, corporations and other organisations. A healthy, vibrant and inquisitive journalistic media plays a vital role in achieving these goals. We are part of that media....” they said. Is Wikileaks realy make media tranperant or it is an illusion serve for dark powers.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
