The WikiLeaks meme often revolves around the organization's iconic hourglass logo—depicting a world dripping into another globe—or images of its founder, Julian Assange. Since the late 2000s, it has been used by internet culture to signify the 'leaking' of secrets, ranging from genuine political documents to mundane office gossip or video game spoilers. The template effectively conveys the shock and gravity of revealing hidden information. Its aesthetic is often gritty and dramatic, making it a favorite for satirical takes on government transparency, corporate whistleblowing, and global surveillance themes.
