Julian Assange is free.
After living in a cell for more than 5 years, he can soon go home and meet his family again.
I’m wondering if it was worth the sacrifice. The governments and tech companies are spying more than ever on everyone.

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.
Are you talking about the claim that he endangered CIA agents? That was just some bullshit they cooked up to get him on, and I don’t think anybody even claimed that somebody actually died.
Imagine thinking exposing the CIA should be a crime, because the poor small beans CIA agents need protection. Who wouldn’t want to protect imperial blackmailers, hit men, weapons smugglers and death squad commanders?
You are the traitor for siding with the oppressor.
Right supporting Lukashenko’s regime is such a noble endeavour!
Too many anarchists and tankies use Lemmy unfortunately.
Traitor? To what country?
Yes, but that’s not treason. It could be treason if he was American, but he isn’t.
Assange is a citizen of Australia and since The United States is known for spying on its allies the act of exposing US informants would be closer to serving ones own country than act of treason.

Treason is not what you think it is. Its a nice word to throw around when you are angry at someone but it has a very specific meaning.
The consequences of doing a bad thing are on the person doing it, not the whistle blower.
If they wanted to keep their secrets, they should of made sure they weren’t so fucking rough. Nobody would of leaked any files if those heli pilots were saving children instead of joking after killing them.
Snowden is also considered a traitor, I really don’t give a shit who the US says is a traitor. I only wish the worst for people working for 3 letter agencies.
