Targeting WikiLeaks, Explicitly Threatens Speech and Press Freedoms (2017)
- ksaj 8y agoI might be understanding this incorrectly, but the charges appear to be limited to Julian apparently coaching Chelsea on how to crack passwords, specifically because at that point he had already received the data dump from her and therefore would know that he is instructing on how to conduct further (alleged) crimes. Although journalists often obtain information from otherwise potentially illegal sources, telling them how to go about it in a way that definitely is illegal probably makes you accessory to that crime. (accessory, aiding and abetting, etc.) Thoughts?
