“We use advanced cryptographic techniques and legal techniques to protect sources,” Mr. Assange told the BBC in February.
The site says that it accepts “classified, censored or otherwise restricted material of political, diplomatic or ethical significance” but does not take “rumour, opinion or other kinds of first hand reporting or material that is already publicly available”.
“We specialise in allowing whistle-blowers and journalists who have been censored to get material out to the public,” said Mr Assange.
It is operated by an organisation known as the Sunshine Press and claims to be “funded by human rights campaigners, investigative journalists, technologists and the general public”.
