He's a traitor, and because of him many people died. I hope he's not ok. Edit: downvote me all you want, but that won't change the fact that Assange gave very sensitive information to regimes and dictators that has gotten innocent people murdered.
Literal bot. You should try reducing your daily uranium intake.
"Everyone I disagree with is a bot" - you
Everyone that says "i hope hes not ok" is a bot - me
Not a bot. Assange helped regimes and dictators to kill US informants. Innocent people in Syria and Belarus for example got murdered because of the information Assange gave them. Look it up if you don't believe me.
ITT:
Hopefully he can safely return to his home country and take a long deserved rest from this all.
It'll probably take a decade or more to recover mentally from all the shit he has gone through.
I just hope he takes his time to recover and passes the wikileaks torch as all the accumulated resentment and paranoia will probably take a while to shed off. Going all out on anti-american frenzy on social media and whatnot would likely lead to undesirable outcome for him in public eye.
I’m wondering if it was worth the sacrifice. The governments and tech companies are spying more than ever on everyone.
Snowden revelations and Wikileaks have made E2EE pretty much a standard for most internet services. People are also far less naive when it comes to online privacy which has spawned bunch of regulations like GDPR and bunch of investigations on how well services and products handle information security.
Fuck assange. Your hate for the US has you supporting an asshole that works for Russia.
They spend more on this than saying the US kills its own people.
He'll be back to supporting russian imperialism and working with russian security services. Even more people will end up in russian concentration camps (where they have it way worse than he did in British prison) because of his actions.
The guy literally worked for russia today and admitted that he had a personal policy of never criticizing russia in a substantive manner.
Just goes to show if you're an actual good guy, you get the shaft (Snowden), but if you're a rapist who repeatedly helps fascists, you have hope.
