Many people dislike WikiLeaks, but proponents claim that, since government is supposed to work for the people, all government information should be available to anyone who wants to see it. At the same time, WikiLeaks' acts are illegal in most countries, and the people maintaining WikiLeaks stay anonymous, with the notable exception of {{w|Julian Assange}} the spokesperson. |
− | + | The comic shows WikiLeaks releasing all WikiLeaks' members' private information, thereby unmasking them to the world. This would be giving WikiLeaks a taste of its own medicine, because as much as they believe in freedom of information, they don't believe in freedom of ''that'' information. | |
