Yeah normally they're pretty good but with their Twitter account going rogue and the recent leaks including personal information it seems like they are desperate for support.

Party affiliations are in there.
Even if you don't hypothesize Erdogan fuckery, the article points out that it singles out women within the AKP party, who can be targeted for political violence in the wake of the failed civil war. Or just stalked by a jealous ex bf looking to cause trouble.
Again, how is this news?
Fair enough. Both are doing/have done despicable things in the name of journalism.
Didn't know they were Milo defenders too. Gross.

Wikileak fighting so we can know what matters. This is a really pointless thing which I hope doesn't lead to any negative backlash against the women. These days, the littles things can lead to an awful outcome.
Well that is pretty fucked up then.
WTF wikileaks.
Does it show who these women voted for? Or just an info listed of every registered female voter.

I had no idea. Seriously.
Why does there seem to be such a direct link to Wikileaks and Russia? Is it basically a bunch of Russian hackers or something?
People die from what doesn't get leaked too. Wikileaks isn't any worse from the Obama administration in that regard. Not even close.
Lol what.

I don't understand what's happening with Wikileaks. I get why they'd dump the DNC emails regardless of the source being Russian hackers, or this Turkey stuff even though it doesn't have anything juicy. It fits with their whole "fight the powah" thing. And they've showed previously that they weren't all that careful with info that might be harmful to individual, non-powerful people, even when it didn't contain anything of particular public interest.
But some of this shit is just weird. In response to people talking about them accidentally doxxing people by not redacting SSNs and credit card numbers from the DNC data dump, they said on Twitter that it wasn't accidental at all. They've come out with some alt-right vaguely anti-Semitic stuff, also on Twitter. And now this. Is this some kind of bizarre #NeverCensorship thing? Do they just not have the resources to actually look at this stuff, but are pretending that it was on purpose afterwards?
None of this makes any sense.

Well yeah. I just didn't see how you thought it would benefit Erdogan, when he should know (or very easily be able to find out) this stuff already. This is dangerous for female members of his own party.
Though I suppose, writing that out, there's a not-insignificant chance this is a false-flag operation for him to sacrifice these members (odd that there's only women in this list), let them face god knows what kind of reprisals, then play the victim and use it to justify something terrible.
Agreed. Regardless fo what people may think of wikileaks, this behaviour appears to out of character.

They've never been about fighting the power. They're just another branch of a different power. That's the thing. Just because some other leaks recently may be innocuous, it doesn't absolve them of guilt for what they did with the Afghanistan emails or anything after that.
I mean, just look at the shit they've been tweeting:

Wow, can't believe they have stooped this low.
Several of their leaks after the Afghan ones were good, but they also weren't particularly high profile (NSA spying on Germany and Brazil, for example). The real issue is that every large dump has do journalism or due diligence done with regards to ethically disclosing this information.

This is disgusting.
WikiLeaks has always been disgusting, but at least now more people on both sides politically are starting to wake up to it.
Support political crackdowns in Turkey in lieu of the failed "coup" against a president who is more hostile to the West and more friendly to Russia, Syria, and Iran.
It's also indication that WikiLeaks is a puppet for Russian strong-arming.

He sure doth protest too much, huh?
That "our lawyers will be watching" tweet was just...
Wikileaks is a sabotage terrorist group now

Wikileaks is indefensible.
Modern owned media conglomerates, intentional or not, and the birth of the internet has led to an all new kind of information warfare. I don't think people really understand the level of fucks Russia, or its players, have towards the rules. They simply do not give a shit. Social engineering and the internet is like infinite respawn where you can pretend to be anyone from anywhere. It is an untapped threat that is currently having tangible results.
It make's sense, it is just so bat to the face in its sheer audacity that we don't want it to be.

That doesn't make it any less disgusting. That's like saying child pornographers are all about filming naked children. A statement of fact doesn't address the morality.
