part of the deal was to destroy unpublished material

page 29

Before his plea is entered in Court, the Defendant shall take all action within his control to cause the return to the United States or the destruction of any such unpublished information in his possession, custody, or control, or that of WikiLeaks or any affiliate of WikiLeaks.

The Defendant further agrees that, if the forgoing obligation requires him to instruct the editor(s) of WikiLeaks to destroy any such information or otherwise cause it to be destroyed, he shall provide the United States (or cause to be provided to the United States) a sworn affidavit confirming the instruction he provided and that, he will, in good faith, seek to facilitate compliance with that instruction prior to sentencing.”

Ask Stella about it. Hopefully everything gets sorted out. 💜

The leaks have been in the public domain for so long – in my opinion, a demand to remove them wouldn't make much sense anymore. However, for unpublished material, it would.

But maybe I didn't understand your context. If it says above that WL revealed, then that means it was published, and Assange did not agree to its removal even in the deal, which means the data will soon be visible again.

I was just posting what she said and why that comment was made. I didn’t add additional commentary because I didn’t have any. Hopefully it will get sorted out and there will be further updates.
