"John L. Young, who died March 28 at age 89 in New York City, was among the first people to see the need for an online library of official secrets, a place where the public could find out things that governments and corporations didn’t want them to know. He made real the idea – revolutionary in its time – that the internet could make more information available to more people than ever before.
John and architect Deborah Natsios, his wife, in 1996 founded Cryptome, an online library which collects and publishes data about freedom of expression, privacy, cryptography, dual-use technologies, national security, intelligence, and government secrecy. Its slogan: “The greatest threat to democracy is official secrecy which favors a few over the many.” And its invitation: “We welcome documents for publication that are prohibited by governments worldwide.”"

Spiritual Godfather Of Leaks: John Young of Cryptome.org
FYI: interesting read w/ some familiar vibez https://archive.md/iHaIo
FTR: being one of my favorite research sources since the late 90s, cryptome has been giving the general public access to often restricted and/or classified information about the government and the military-industrial complex. personally, it arose my early suspicion and fed conspiracy theories, leading to curiosity and the urge to explore things further - principles which might be mandatory for any profound research.

i heard John Young of https://cryptome.org/ passed away last week. #Cryptome #RIP
John was an uncompromising rolemodel, publishing all the samizdats he could get his hands on. he even demanded to be included as a defendant together with julian assange.
one of the greatest unsung heroes of the past 30 years.
shit. i hope this is not true.
RIP John.
I've just been told that John Young of Cryptome.org passed away last week.
#Cryptome was foundational, and a predecessor to organizations like @ddosecrets.com and #Wikileaks.
RIP, John.

Though we know very little about the alleged leaker #PentagonLeak and we may be wrong about his motivations etc. I think it is worth to read #Cryptome's comment, which should have included #DanielHale:

Daniel #Ellsberg & #Cryptome’s John Young demand U.S. drop charges against Julian #Assange “If they succeed with Julian #Assange, we will not have a First Amendment,” says #Ellsberg. “This accusation against Assange would be illegal against an American citizen, so we think it’s selective prosecution, so indict us too: https://www.democracynow.org/2022/12/14/daniel_ellsberg_john_young_assange_case #FreeAssange
"As supporters of #JulianAssange fear his #extradition to the United States could be just weeks away, and President Biden faces growing pressure to drop espionage charges against #Assange, we are joined for an exclusive joint interview with Pentagon Papers whistleblower #DanielEllsberg and #JohnYoung, the founder of #Cryptome.org, who have both asked the Dept of Justice to indict them for possessing or publishing the same documents as the #WikiLeaks founder."

Cryptome Founder Says He Should Be Prosecuted with Julian Assange for Publishing Classified Docs
https://www.democracynow.org/2022/12/1/headlines/cryptome_founder_says_he_should_be_prosecuted_with_julian_assange_for_publishing_classified_docs
'The founder of the website Cryptome.org has written to the U.S. Justice Department with a strange request: He is asking to be indicted for violating the Espionage Act. Cryptome’s founder John Young says he should be added as a co-defendant in the prosecution of WikiLeaks’s Julian Assange because he published the same leaked government documents at the center of the U.S. case against Assange. While Assange faces 175 years in U.S. prison if he is extradited, the U.S. government has never moved to prosecute Young, who says he published the documents two days prior to WikiLeaks. Earlier this week, The New York Times and four international newspapers called on Biden to drop the charges against Assange, saying “publishing is not a crime.”'
