1/ Unless you have dumped massive datasets of classified USG data I fail to see how your situation is similar to Assange's. What might be coincidental for you is not when it comes to JA.
2/ Since you post on HN I guess you sure understand that there is no need to alter the physical layer if you want to ostracize a subnetwork from the Internet.
- SCdF 10y agoExcept as I understand it, he has a dead man's switch set up, so all severing his internet is going to do is have him leak everything anyway. Also, he's not the only person running Wikileaks , he's mostly the public persona, but there are other people who are not stuck in an embassy right?
- eumoria 10y agoYea with this being the case it's a little confusing. If they were going to extradite, though, wouldn't that start with officially taking custody? Aka sort of an arrest meaning taking personal devices/access away? I'm sure it's super complicated...
- cloudjacker 10y agoI mean, Wikileaks doesn't host their servers inside the Ecuadorian embassy. They could just time the release of the data in advance, so that they don't need Assange's ongoing internet capabilities to do anything... right? Doesn't that make almost too much sense?
