She saw something wrong going on and blew a whistle; she was sentenced and it was commuted in the name of transparency and respect for the government's obligations to its citizens and transparency.
So basically, she saw the government's breach of trust and called it out, and is doing so again now.
It seems like either you don't understand what Chelsea did in the first place, or your argument is simply with Chelsea herself for any number of possible reasons.
Yes, this is where we are now. Fucking good.
- abritinthebay 9y agoIt's a little more complex than that. Chelsea did what she thought was right (and I generally agree in principle) but the actual dump was just... everything. It wasn't a well curated dump, much of the data wasn't whistleblowing. If you compare how Chelsea handled it vs Snowden they are worlds apart. Chelsea wanted to be a whistleblower but IMO behaved like a leaker/dumper. Of course intent does matter but, even though I'm very pro-Chelsea, lets not pretend Chelsea behaved admirably in how she handled the leaks.
