Few members of Julian Assange's team in WikiLeaks have announced their decision of launching another secrets revealing website just like WikiLeak. These ex-colleagues of Julian Assange have declared the name of this spin-off website to be OpenLeaks, as they plan to launch it sometime in the next week. According to a local Swedish newspaper ‘Dagens Nyheter’ these new founders of OpenLeaks' have stated their intentions to very well keep up with the flow secrets exposing methods though they were not particularly happy with the methods Assange used himself.
A columnist from Forbes went on and interviewed these founders of new upcoming website, the y explained that the leakers will only be able to submit the information to the site only, and for a change, will not be able to publish it online. Instead for a change, the leakers will whose the name, whether who or whom not, such as a particular media organizations or watchdog groups, can access the information and they can later publish it on their behalf. This particular organization, or whoever it is, has than his responsibility to make the decisions whether to do fact-checking, editing and publishing or what else with the leaked information. Daniel Domscheit-Berg, one of the leading founders of the website, emphasized that this will now allow the exposure of same information but without the pervious legal questions that WikiLeaks had faces.
Meanwhile Julian Assange, the actual founder and editor of WikiLeaks, who is basically from Australian, is now being held in England over some Swedish sex-crime allegations though they are not related to the WikiLeaks controversy at all.
