    I am not saying I condone what he did

    I’m not sure what we are debating/discussing. If you’re going to claim you are a bastion of transparency and information for the general public, then no, you can’t weaponize your site and omit politically damaging information about political groups you agree with/are aligned with.

    That’s not just revenge against the US. That’s failing to provide the transparency you claim to stand for. He chose to obscure information based on his own whims. How is that not an issue?

    Wikileaks had their own leak and it was a very interesting read.

      If you care about transparency so much i don’ think you would be here trying to belittle someone who spent the past years in jail for the sake of transparency.

        I’m belittling someone who used transparency as a shield as they acted in accordance with their personal politics, chief among those actions being helping to install Donald fucking Trump as president, followed by fleeing to Russia to do his little propaganda show for the Kremlin/RT. Fuck Assange. He wields transparency like the american right does with free speech.

          Fleeing where? Do you know where he has been for the past decade? How exactly did they used transparency as a shield and to defend from what?

          If you are angry at Trump getting elected you should be angry at who voted for him and the media/government who advertised for it, not so much to one of the persons that exposed your government wrongdoings and corruption.

        He didn’t spend years in jail, he spent years in self imposed exile because he was afraid of facing a court room.
