    What happened to Julian Assange is what’s stopping someone. And he wasn’t even in the US.

        He spent over a decade imprisoned and pled guilty to something that’s clearly first amendment protected activity, I wouldn’t call that Scot free.

          “First amendment”… ? So you think it’s fine to release information you know will lead to murder of innocent people, are warned repeatedly, you do it anyway, and that’s all fine.

          And this is to say nothing of the women who credibly claim he raped them.

            And this is where you’re supposed to link to a specific instance of anyone who got murdered due to the leaks, because that didn’t happen, he redacted the files to avoid this.

            As for the ghosting charge, I agree he should’ve stood trial in Sweden for that.

                Again, any example of a case of an innocent person dying, or even a CIA officer or anything like that. There’s none.

                  An entire documentary is not good enough for you so this is a pointless conversation where you care nothing about truth

                    The wiki article doesn’t mention anything like that, I’m not watching a whole documentary. If there’s anything true to the claim you made, there would be a news article about it somewhere. Any innocent person being murdered because of something published by Wikileaks, shouldn’t be hard to find if it existed, no?
