Financement de Wikileaks
Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
Le site spécialisé dans la mise en ligne d'informations sensibles et confidentielles WikiLeaks s'apprête à publier 15.000 nouveaux documents militaires confidentiels sur la guerre en Afghanistan, malgré les avertissements du Pentagone et de la Maison Blanche. S'il a toujours été controversé, WikiLeaks joue sans doute ici la partie la plus importante de son histoire. Et elle n'est pas politique, mais économique.

The secret-spilling website WikiLeaks appears to be a frugal spender, tapping less than 5 percent of the funds received through two of its three donation methods, according to the third-party foundation that manages those contributions. WikiLeaks has received 640,000 euros (U.S. $800,000) through PayPal or bank money transfers* since late December, and spent only 30,000 euros (U.S. $38,000) from that funding, says Hendrik Fulda, vice president of the Berlin-based Wau Holland Foundation. The money has gone to pay the travel expenses of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and spokesman Daniel Schmitt, as well as to cover the costs of computer hardware, such as servers, and leasing data lines, says Fulda.

By Scott Horton Munich’s Süddeutsche Zeitung takes a look at what makes WikiLeaks tick and finds that it rests on the in-kind contributions of supporters, who tend to be young computer geeks who believe that freedom is threatened by the secrecy in which governments around the world operate, and a tiny handful of cash donations. WikiLeaks aims to collect 460,000 Euros per annum.

Moneybookers, a British-registered internet payment company that collects WikiLeaks donations, emailed the organisation to say it had closed down its account because it had been put on an official US watchlist and on an Australian government blacklist.
