There are responsible and irresponsible ways to dump this kind of info. Both result in the public learning what it is entitled to know. (All such secrets are bad of course and should be brought to light.) For instance, Assange has failed to scrub irrelevant personally identifying information from releases in the past which have resulted in uninvolved non-public civilians getting doxxed. All this does is allow oppressive regimes like the current US government more evidence to make the act of leaking even harder. Assange is bad for freedom of information in the current social order because he’s a very convenient story for people who want secrets to remain secrets.
