@LisaRein is taking a moment to honor Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, who died earlier this year.

In the 1970s, Dan had to skillfully leak information about the Vietnam War to multiple newspapers. No system like SecureDrop existed, of course. He said to Lisa that if he were to leak the Pentagon Papers today, he would have done it through SecureDrop.

#AaronSwartzDay

Ten years ago, #AaronSwartz died by suicide following a prolonged and relentless crusade by the U.S. judiciary to prosecute him for allegedly downloading academic articles.

After his death, @freedomofpress took over maintenance of the open source whistleblower submission platform he had been developing, now called SecureDrop, hoping to get news orgs to adopt it. It's now used by dozens of news outlets worldwide.

Thank you, Aaron. ❤️ We are honored to carry on your legacy.
