a_kleberКак известно, Ассанж некоторое время назад сурово разочаровался в журналистике газеты Нью-Йорк Таймс и с тех пор не дает им интервью и не делится информацией. В свою очередь, Нью-Йорк Таймс продолжает печатать о нем и его сайте статьи с обиженно-ехидным оттенком. Но не все так просто.
На Рождество, т.е. 25 декабря, НЙТ разразился редакторской колонкой с осуждением поведения крупных финансовых систем, лишивших Викиликса возможности получать пожертвования.
Ну и на том спасибо, как говорится.
Editorial
Banks and WikiLeaks
«(...) Our concern is not specifically about payments to WikiLeaks. This isn’t the first time a bank shunned a business on similar risk-management grounds. Banks in Colorado, for instance, have refused to open bank accounts for legal dispensaries of medical marijuana.
Still, there are troubling questions. The decisions to bar the organization came after its founder, Julian Assange, said that next year it will release data revealing corruption in the financial industry. In 2009, Mr. Assange said that WikiLeaks had the hard drive of a Bank of America executive.
What would happen if a clutch of big banks decided that a particularly irksome blogger or other organization was “too risky”? What if they decided — one by one — to shut down financial access to a newspaper that was about to reveal irksome truths about their operations? This decision should not be left solely up to business-as-usual among the banks.»
Эта последняя фраза кому предназначается? Как-то вяло звучит, по-моему.
