This is a multipart story; no part redeemable. Not the emails, not the publicizing of these recent databases; not Western press coverage.

I'm not claiming Wikileaks the only irresponsible party here. There are others. If you took part in any part of this leak, you were wrong.

I can take criticism. I can deal with being called "Erdogan apologist". But to the hacker community: you have done real harm.

This indiscriminate leak of no public interest & private info; this publicizing of sensitive databases. Talking points for every censor.

So, that's ... awkward. Do people regularly manage to get blocked by WL, or am I to take this as some kind of sign?pic.twitter.com/5K0O1bAbRy

So, WL which claimed I was an Erdogan apologist, so can't even Google, is also claiming I fabricated the story. I can add one detail now.

Two parts. The emails that Wikileaks presents as "AKP emails" are not. They are a large, not even secret, mailing list of regular people.

There are private information in these, too, as people plead for jobs in emails TO ruling party members, etc. But most are NOTHINGBURGER.

I didn't at first provide the how because I hoped to get things a little less accessible. But I know it's mostly futile. The damage is done.

Wikileaks defense is "they did not publish". People they worked with on this "leak" put them up & WL repeatedly advertised it to millions.
