Do they claim they don ' t curate ? They ' ve been pretty open about releasing things strategically for ' maximum impact ' going all the way back to the Collateral Murder video and probably before . mistake on this one they ' ve claimed they do not censor and are not gatekeepers of information but have been raked on this due to the fact that they do openly withhold things for maximum impact , and they say they only release information . that is important to the political , diplomatic or historical . We believe in transparency for the powerful and privacy for the rest . should have said originally that they ' ve been strongly criticized for doing absolutely no curation of the content ie removing innocent civilians names and informationAs for the information on Trump comment , Assange said that himself in a recent interview and that ' ll take me a little longer to find . So , they claim to be uncensored , but will purposefully withhold things for maximum impact , and only release what they deem to be ' important . ' They claim to value the privacy of those not powerful . Meanwhile they release laundry lists of DNC donors private citizens guilty of donating a measly $ 10 to a party , contact information of teenage rape victims , the voter registration of literally millions of women during a coup in turkey , and the information of private Iraqi citizens who were acting as U . S . informants . None of the above had important political impact against the ' powerful ' but conceivably put thousands of innocent people in danger .
