There is nothing as diverse and dynamic as information. Therefore, information becomes one of the most sought-after assets in the world. In both the social and corporate world, access to information has always had a major impact on how business is done and also, how people interact. Information has also been known to influence and sharpen politics and how people think and perceive leadership and this is what has translated to information being restricted in a technical sense. In today’s knowledge-based economies, although people are guaranteed access to information as a fundamental right in their constitutions, information is barred from access through legal legislation like the privacy of information. There are also government secrets that are classified as top secrets. What this means is that although people have a right to access information, information that is seen as private can be restricted from the public without breaking any rights of the populace. The existence of classified information that is hidden from the public has prompted some companies to establish mechanisms on how they can gain access to information and release it to the public. Such organizations include Wiki Leaks. WikiLeaks has been one of the twenty-first century’s greatest online sites in exposing information to the public. Since the era of espionage, information cables that were deemed classified and top-secret to the American government were leaked by Wiki Leaks to the surprise and dismay of the American government. This in itself has led to worldwide outrage by those affected but more significantly is the impact that these leaks have on the freedom and access of information. A few months after the Wiki Leaks founder Mr. Assange had mentioned that he would release other cables on a hard drive belonging to an executive of an American bank revealing massive corruption in the financial industry. This had massive repercussions. Major financial players like visa, PayPal, and MasterCard would not process any transaction belonging to Wiki Leaks. They were soon to be joined by other financial players like the Bank of America which was widely speculated to be the bank in question. These actions on refusal to process financial transactions for Wiki Leaks by the financial institutions raised a question on normative ethics. It is should be noted that legally, the Bank of America and other financial players are entitled to choose who they do business with. The freedom of banks to choose who to deal with is allowed by the Federal Reserve, which is the banking industry’s regulator. WikiLeaks remains to be a sensitive company due to its ability to access information that has been kept as top secrets by various governments and corporate entities. This makes the company have a suspicious image which makes any party dealing with the company to be wary of any negative impact that the company may have. Due to this fear, companies take an analysis of possible benefits that the company can bring to them before bringing them on board as customers. For a bank like the Bank of America, the first thing that it would try to evaluate is the information that it possesses a secret. With the precedent set by Wik
