Whatever people may feel about this organisation, this would seem to be
rather a worrying breach of fair processing rules relating to sensitive
personal data.

Of course "wikileak" is not an organisation in the ordinary sense and so
its hard to see how they could be a data controller.  So who is the data
controller here?

And even if "wikileak" was a data controller, I can only imagine that it
would not be "established" in the EU - and so outside EU rules.
