My answer to this is very simple: It is a property of a state of law that no one is to be considered guilty unless it can be proved by a court. In this sense Jacob Appelbaum is to be considered innocent.
- wavefunction 10y agoThat's not true under Napoleonic code.
- jethro_tell 10y agoLegally, he is considered innocent. No charges have been brought forward, and no legal investigation is under way. It is the right of most organizations in most states/countries to exclude people of their choosing. They have verified a couple complaints and decided he was enough like a person they wanted to exclude. Which it sounds like he was doing from his side as well. So I'd say that legally, he is being considered innocent. This is like 'I can say whatever I want without the consequences of my peers because of the first amendment.' The right to free speech and the right to be innocent until proven guilty apply to a citizens relationship with the government.
