>Espionage act of 1917
Gosh you don't get it, sure it's illegal to spread confidential information AS A US-CITIZEN ABOUT THE US, it's a Law for US Citizens, the US cannot make a world-law if you still don't get it.
>Extradition
It's because of alleged hacking and instigation of a US-Citizen (Manning) and not because of spreading US confidential information, please educate yourself.
>Journalist are protected under "press freedom"
Journalist is NOT a protected Job-Title (aka everyone can be it...and yes Assange too), and most journalist would tell you that Assange was more journalist then most so called professionals. And again "press-freedom" is not a World-Right/Law but different from country to country..and non existent in others.
Not often have i seen such a uneducated and childish worldview as yours...it's nearly comical.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoReading is hard. So i quoted it this time: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage_Act_of_1917 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage_Act_of_1917 > communists Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, Cablegate whistleblower Chelsea Manning, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The rest is just repeating what i said. Except you call Assange a journalist. If he would have redacted names, he probably would have been in a lot less trouble ( just repeating myself again). To be honest, a lot of what Assange leaked should have been done. But he was a literal idiot leaking names unredacted and endangering people. It was literally real journalists that made Assange his previous leaks ok for publishing, Assange just had to forward documents.
