WikiLeaks is a non-profit media organization that was founded in 2006 by Julian Assange and several other individuals. Its main aim is to publish sensitive and classified information, provided by anonymous sources, to the public, in an effort to promote transparency and accountability. The organization has been involved in numerous high-profile releases of information related to government, military, and corporate activities, including classified diplomatic cables and secret military documents. The releases have generated intense public debate and controversy, with some people viewing the organization as a champion of free speech and government transparency, while others view it as a threat to national security and an enabler of criminal activities.
