New York, January 31 (RHC)-- Google has revealed it secretly gave the U.S. government the e-mail messages and metadata of three top members of the whistleblowing organization WikiLeaks — investigations editor Sarah Harrison, section editor Joseph Farrell, and spokesperson Kristinn Hrafnsson, a longtime Icelandic journalist.
The U.S. government requested the information in 2012 as part of an alleged conspiracy and espionage investigation targeting WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
