ZDNet UK readers have broadly supported Wikileaks in a poll, with a majority saying the whistleblower site is right to publish confidential documents. We present the UK results of a global poll of over 11,000 ZDNet readers
ZDNet UK readers thought that Wikileaks was motivated both by a desire to inform and by politics. Wikileaks editor Julian Assange, who faces extradition to Sweden for questioning on sexual molestation charges, has vowed to carry on his work.
In Asia, over 83 percent of ZDNet readers said that Wikileaks wanted to inform, but only 28 percent thought that the organisation was driven by political motives. By contrast, 62 percent of US readers said that Wikileaks had political motivations, which tallied with China, at 61 percent.
