OpenLeaks revolts against Assange's WikiLeaks
A Wikileaks spin-off by deserters will be launched on Monday.

• World leaders back up Julian Assange
• WikiLeaks insider to publish tell-all memoir
A number of key figures behind WikiLeaks will launch an alternative to the whistle-blower website on Monday, according to Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. The new website, called OpenLeaks, is being describes as more democratic than its forerunner, with a reworked mentality and set of procedures.
WikiLeaks founder Julain Assange has been criticised for "acting like an emperor" in running his organisation. So, if WikiLeaks is a dictatorship, then Openleaks aims to be a democracy. All team members will jointly govern the organization’s actions.
“Our long term goal is to build a strong, transparent platform to support whistleblowers--both in terms of technology and politics--while at the same time encouraging others to start similar projects,” a member of the new organization wishing to remain anonymous told daily Dagens Nyheter.
”As a short-term goal, this is about completing the technical infrastructure and ensuring that the organization continues to be democratically governed by all its members, rather than limited to one group or individual.”
