WikiLeaks has two legacies: transparency sites that work with journalists and the public, and a wave of geopolitical influence operations that launder stolen documents. My WashPost story is free for nonsubscribers who cough up an email address. wapo.st/4bjRvHF #wikileaks #assange #ddosecrets

This story is horrifying on multiple levels. (1) It very likely cost lives in Philippines and around the world, including here in the US due to diminished trust in vaccines. (2) When democratic govs employ this kind of info operation, they undermine the values and trust that sustain democracies.
