London ( CNN ) -- Arguing that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has `` weakened the organization , '' a newly organized rival to the website known for leaking official secrets says it will launch Monday . The founders of Openleaks.org say they are former WikiLeaks members unhappy with the way WikiLeaks is being run under Assange . `` It has weakened the organization , '' one of those founders , Daniel Domscheit-Berg says in a documentary airing Sunday night on Swedish television network SVT . He said WikiLeaks has become `` too much focused on one person , and one person is always much weaker than an organization . '' In an e-mail to CNN , Domscheit-Berg said the group hopes to launch its site Monday . Like WikiLeaks , which facilitates the anonymous disclosure of secret information , Openleaks says its goal is to help people deliver material to news outlets and other organizations without being identified . The Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter , citing internal Openleaks documents , reported that the new site intends to act as an intermediary , `` without a political agenda except from the dissemination of information to the media , the public , non-profit organizations , trade and union organizations and other participating groups . '' Domscheit-Berg said WikiLeaks put `` everything we had '' into the high-profile disclosures of hundreds of thousands secret U.S. documents over the past five months . `` I think the wisest thing to do would have been to do this slowly , step by step , to grow the project . That did not happen , '' he says in the SVT documentary . Assange and WikiLeaks have been the focus of worldwide condemnation since their first major release of classified U.S. documents in July . Since it began disclosing more than 250,000 U.S. diplomatic cables in November , it has been hit with denial-of-service attacks , been kicked off servers in the United States and France and lost major revenue sources . And Assange has been held in a British jail since Tuesday as he battles extradition to Sweden , which wants to question him about allegations of sexual assault . Assange has denied any wrongdoing , and supporters have called the charges an attempt to strike back him and his organization . But Domscheit-Berg said , `` If you preach transparency to everyone else , you have to be transparent yourself . '' `` You have to fulfill the same standards that you expect from others , '' he told SVT . `` And I think that 's where we 've not been heading in the same direction philosophically anymore . '' Another former WikiLeaks staffer said he had brought up his discontent with Assange , but that the WikiLeaks founder had not wanted to listen . `` Eventually this ended with me arguing with Julian about basically his dictatorial behavior , which ended in Julian saying to me that if I had a problem with him I could just 'piss off , ' I quote , '' Herbert Snorreson said . WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson would not discuss disagreements between Assange and other members of the organization . But as for the planned launch of a rival group , he said , `` the more , the better . '' `` Well , I 'm inclined not to talk too much about the people , the few people that have decided that their interest is not with WikiLeaks anymore , '' he told SVT . `` What I hear is that some of the people are contemplating to open up their own website with the same ideal as WikiLeaks and I think that is an excellent idea and I wish them well . ''
Openleaks.org says it plans to launch Monday . The site is a collaboration between the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Reporters Without Borders, and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
