On This Day Aug. 16: Ecuador grants asylum to Julian Assange - UPI.com https://www.upi.com/Top_News/2023/08/16/On-This-Day-Ecuador-grants-asylum-to-Julian-Assange/1961692146394/ #Ecuador #JulianAssange #WikiLeaks

@jwildeboer also the #ICC ordered #UK to return the island to it's inhabitants and according to #Wikileaks-published #cables the UK gov tried to prevent that by making the Chagos Islands a nature reserve.

Not to mention that #DiegoGarcia is a literal #BlackSite for #FoecedDisappearance by the #US gov.

@Orca @ddosecrets @dell I'm pretty shure they already got that.

After all, they basically filled the void of a [partially self-]incapacitated #WikiLeaks...

@Brandi_Buchman
@emptywheel does a good job on national security crimes imo. Take Joshua Schulte, the CIA software engineer who was arrested for the biggest leak in #CIA history. He leaked classified files about the CIA's #Hacking tools and capabilities to #WikiLeaks in 2018.

His case is kind of like #JakeTeixeira in some ways. https://news.yahoo.com/cia-future-defined-us-technology-203442239.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tw&tsrc=twtr

Interesting. #RashidaTlaib and “several of her Democratic colleagues” want Merrick Garland to free #Assange 🔥

Nope.

@ijatz_La_Hojita @mullvadnet The problem is that said " #transparency " is usually just facist #PoliceState and not actual #accountability and #consequences.

Personally, I think a it like #WikiLeaks in that regard and demand that individuals should have enshired #privacy rights and the more power one wields, the more transparency and accountability they should face.

I think the public has a right to know what their elected representatives [on national level] do 24/7....

🎬 #Oscar- and #Emmy-winning Doc #director #AlexGibney has set sights on #ElonMusk in a new #documentary, "Musk." His previous films include "Going Clear (#Scientology), "We Steal Secrets" (#Wikileaks), and "#Enron: The Smartest Guy in the Room."

The filmmaker promises a “definitive and unvarnished examination" of the former "Richest Man in the World."

@MacropodCare @VPS_Reports yeah - leeching.off #Wikileaks when it's convenient and free content but being utter cowards when every !conspiracy theory" Assange said turned out to be blatantly optimistic.

@NatSecGeek @ddosecrets

It's not a technical matter, but rather the legal implications, as you said...

Also it would not work with a known human being at the helm - #WikiLeaks turining itself into "#JuliansOrg" and basically stopping to function was the core goal all along and they should've refused to get played that easily...

#WhatsMissing: #WikiLeaks but with #Crowdfunding...

Something like "#LeakBounty":

One or multiple people can post bounties [via #multisig #monero] for detailed #leaks and if a [confirmed!] leak about it is published, the #bounty is released to the leaker unless they explicitly decline it.

In which case it'll be used to upkeep the site.

And yes, one can have the #NuancedOpinion of disliking #Assange and #WikiLeaks yet condemn the #ShowTrial pushed against him.

Cuz it's a dangerous precedent against #Journalism.

@SWeiermann wär's nicht illegal, würd' ich ne #Belohnung für'n Release auf #WikiLeaks ausloben...

"The charges against Assange for obtaining and publishing classified information, without any active role in actually stealing it mark “the crossing of a legal rubicon”, said Jaffer at Columbia University. That’s an ominous legal threshold, he said, for Assange and all journalists.

“It’s the first time the US government has used the Espionage Act to go after a publisher and the implications are huge”

Finally. The Guardian, the New York Times, Le Monde, Der Spiegel, and El País, which published #WikiLeaks material 12 years ago, come out in defence of Julian #Assange.
