"They" don't have to shut anything down, since the real effect of all these links is/will be null. People sensibly defend themselves against so-called information overload by not paying any attention to any that doesn't fit their sense of the world. Information simply does not lead to action.
Personally, I am wholly uninterested in any of the leaks. The U.S. state is a central capitalist power, and a human future depends on its destruction in the not too-distant future. Any u.s. president is a war criminal de facto by taking the oath of office. So I'm only interested in information which is either of immediate entertainment worth or seriously contributes to critique. These leaks are neither.
