    Yes. Wikileaks is supposed to be a tool of transparency. Not a tool for his political revenge.

      How was wikileaks used for revenge? Are you saying that they shouldn’t have publish all these leaks concerning USA such as Vault 7

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vault_7

      There’s plenty of stuff about russia on wikileaks too, you can just search for it.

      I’m not saying I condone what he did, but I can understand it from his perspective. I’d probably do the same thing if there were a country responsible for ruining my life and health and I had the information to inflict some damage.

        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.

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