The article scrutinizes the case of WikiLeaks and allegations against its creator Julian Assange through the conceptual and methodological resources offered by Luce Irigaray’s philosophy of love. In contrast to the idea of the relation of private intimacy and public politics as a strict dualism, the article suggests a continuity between the two spheres.
