WikiLeaks is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2006 to publish classified and sensitive information from anonymous sources. Its goal is to promote transparency and accountability in governments and corporations by exposing wrongdoing and corruption. The organization gained worldwide attention for releasing a large number of documents, including diplomatic cables and military reports, which revealed controversial actions and decisions.
One of the most notable releases by WikiLeaks was the Collateral Murder video in 2010, which showed a U.S. military airstrike in Iraq that killed civilians. This sparked debates about military ethics and the role of the media in reporting such events. WikiLeaks has faced legal challenges and criticism, but it continues to advocate for freedom of information.
