  • refused to leak russian secrets

    he has editorial standards, just like any journalist should.

  • actively trying to sway the 2016 election for Putin.

    that's not true. why would you lie about that?

  • do you trust the person who signed it? if not, dont fucking trust it.

    what more needs to be done?

  • what's wrong with simple cryptographic signatures?

    why do I need a block chain?

  • since there have been laws there have been criminals.

  • if the law says what assange did was wrong, the law is wrong.

    free people have a duty regarding unjust laws.

  • it's overreach to create a false pretext for a war. it's overreach to murder journalists. it's overreach to cover it up. and it's overreach to prosecute the journalists who expose it.

  • Any suffering he had was his own doing.

    no. this is a problem of government overreach.

  • Where did I say it was okay

    you didn't. I asked if that is what you are saying.

  • this is exactly why section 230 exists. sites aren't responsible for what other people post and they are allowed to moderate however they want.

  • i'm sorry. where are we going with this? are you suggesting it's ok to let corporations and governments compile databases of information on people, and that surveillance is not, itself, a form of oppression?

  • the law that protected concerted organizing activity is the same that took the teeth out of the unions. i want to see that law abolished, but i'm an anarchist, so i want them all gone.

  • that's not really the same as having a database full of people and all the information at your fingertips.

  • and how many government agencies could access that database with a simple letter?

  • that doesn't make me feel any better about having governments and their constructs (corporations) looking over my shoulder.

  • concerted organizing activity is protected under the law. talking about it with your boss yourself is not organizing activity. talking about it with a coworker in front of your boss is.

    this is what a job journal is for. it would prove what happened.
