Let's be honest, we failed Assange, and our generation will always have to live with it.
We were not ready for real journalism.
Discussion
is it really bad that i do not know who assange is?
also any resources are welcome, would love to learn 💜
The founder of wiki leaks. If that helps.
You should really research him; there is a lot of online content about him. He is a real-life hero.
One of the video he released
Dean Yates, then bureau chief of Reuters news service in Baghad, „Wat I got wrong on Assange“ 
I dont who he is either.
quick context recap:
Julian Assange is an Australian journalist, publisher, and activist who founded the organization WikiLeaks in 2006. WikiLeaks is known for its mission to promote government transparency by publishing classified information and exposing government misconduct.
Julian Assange and WikiLeaks have played a crucial role in uncovering hidden truths and holding powerful institutions accountable. They have been instrumental in revealing evidence of corruption, war crimes, surveillance abuses, and other forms of government misconduct.
Assange's arrest, which took place in April 2019, was seen by many freedom and privacy advocates as an attack on press freedom and whistleblowing. Critics argue that his arrest sets a dangerous precedent that could discourage future whistleblowers from coming forward with important information.
Supporters of Assange believe that his work has contributed to public awareness about the need for transparency and accountability in governments worldwide. They argue that his arrest undermines efforts to protect journalistic freedoms and poses a threat to investigative journalism as a whole.
Overall, Julian Assange and WikiLeaks are seen as champions of truth-telling who have sacrificed their own freedom in order to expose wrongdoing and fight for greater transparency in society.
And I thought only Theocracies saw their people to pieces.
Say what
Yup. 😑
Não.
The identities of people who were sources of information were revealed and put in danger or worse. In my opinion JA had good intentions but went about the work in the wrong way. Hopefully we can learn from his mistakes.
No, they were involved in something they didn't want anyone to know about. He exposed it, which is why he is facing punishment from a superpower.
What you are saying is a well-coordinated psyops to justify their actions against him. It's not even part of a court case against him.
Have you seen the stuff he has leaked.
🤢 disgusting, abhorrent, criminal
Yes, I’m a journalist who has followed these developments for decades. Although I do believe sites like WikiLeaks serve a valuable purpose, leaking secrets is not real journalism. Journalism is a balanced analysis of facts and events. Unleashing information recklessly resulted in deaths and a trump presidency.
Wow, it is truly criminal what the US/UK has done to Assange. Those responsible for him being in prison are the ones who should be locked away.
Looks like he’s dying for our sins.
Him, and many countless others, that you will never know their names
this picture was generated by AI. It’s been debunked.
Thank you for this reminder.
#assange is a monument to our surrender to totalitarianism
And for real entrepreneurship in case of Ross
