Domscheit-Berg is a German surname. The most notable individual with this surname is Daniel Domscheit-Berg, a German technology activist and author. He is best known for his former involvement with the WikiLeaks organization, serving as its spokesperson and playing a significant role in its technical infrastructure and operations.

After a period of collaboration, Domscheit-Berg publicly parted ways with WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange, citing concerns about transparency, organizational management, and Assange's leadership style. Following his departure, he founded OpenLeaks, an alternative whistleblowing platform intended to address the issues he perceived within WikiLeaks. OpenLeaks aimed to provide a more transparent and decentralized system for receiving and vetting leaked documents, but it never gained significant traction and is no longer active.

He has also written books detailing his experiences with WikiLeaks and his views on digital activism, transparency, and freedom of information. His work and perspectives have made him a notable voice in discussions surrounding online activism, data security, and the ethics of whistleblowing.
