Palantir spied on WikiLeaks' servers, staff, and allies — tracking server migrations across the US and Europe.
They advocated a rapid assault on WikiLeaks, touting their expertise in cybersecurity, insider threats, targeting analysis, and social media manipulation.
Proposed tactics included:
Fuel infighting: sow discord among WikiLeaks supporters.
Spread disinformation: submit fake documents to WikiLeaks, then publicly expose the error.
Undermine infrastructure confidence: plant stories questioning system security.
Launch cyberattacks: unmask sources and document submitters.
Discredit WikiLeaks: launch campaigns to paint the platform as "radical and reckless" to erode public trust.
Discredit employees: social media profiling.
Isolate WikiLeaks by cutting ties with prominent journalists: "Without the support of people like Glenn [Greenwald], WikiLeaks would fold."
Pressure WikiLeaks backers among established journalists: because if pushed, they would choose professional preservation over the WikiLeaks cause.
