Julian Assange isn’t just the creepy scourge of government secrecy. The WikiLeaks founder is also the inspiration for a growing cadre of online oversharers who solicit unauthorized info.

• OpenLeaks.org

  Goal: To pass whistle-blower info to NGOs and news agencies instead of publishing it themselves
  Assange score:
  Founded by Daniel Domscheit-Berg, a former WikiLeaks editor who tired of his boss’s megalomania. Eager to avoid grudges and legal entanglements, he’s the anti-Julian of openness. (Plus, he’s not blond.)

• GreenLeaks.com/GreenLeaks.org

  Goal: To leak documents about environmental abuses—once they sort out a comical battle over which outfit gets the name
  Assange score:
  Org plans to distribute scientific papers. Com vows never to publish illegal materials. Amateurs!

• Rospil.info

  Goal: To expose corruption among Russia’s oligarchs and the companies they love, like oil giant Gazprom
  Assange score:
  Bonus point for bravery in a country where criticizing the powerful is to invite assassination.

• PornWikiLeaks.com

  Goal: To dish dirt on adult stars (“Sindy Swank” is a stage name!)
  Assange score:
  Public outing plus cringe factor—all that’s missing is an Aussie accent.
