US Representative (and incoming chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee) Peter King has requested the US State Department to classify Wikileaks as a terrorist organization. While the topic of this article is not a discussion of the merits of this request, which is reported about by cnet ,
nevertheless, this request raises some interesting questions, that should be asked in a broader scope.
The article mentions that a former UCLA chancellor, Norman Abrams wrote that "the janitor or the pizza delivery person or a taxi driver, or anyone who provides the most mundane 'services,' would seem to be at risk of prosecution" if they could be said to know they're dealing with a designated terrorist group.
What does this mean if terrorist organizations use open source?
