Is it? I mean, I get that information wants to be free and all that, but publishing confidential information is a crime in most jurisdictions. Heck, even publishing your company’s trade secrets could get you imprisoned.

> I mean, I get that information wants to be free and all that, but publishing confidential information is a crime in most jurisdictions. War crimes would always and forever be considered confidential information in the jurisdiction of the country that committed them, I bet. Well, better not reveal that the very moral US army is using dogs on prisoners in Guantanamo, or killing 10 civilians as "collateral damage" while bombing a single target mingling with them. Maybe instead of crying how Assange broke the law, we can actually prosecute the people who did those atrocities and question how this is allowed to happen? Nah, let's put him in jail to rot, much like the Russians did with Navalny, an inconvenient politician, after they failed to poison him. > Heck, even publishing your company’s trade secrets could get you imprisoned. In civilized countries like Germany, for example, there are whistleblower laws that actually state you are liable if you DON'T report on your company's shady practices. You should also realize that they he was detained on a made-up rape accusation, basically sending a message that whoever you are, whatever you do, they will find a way make you shut up if you are doing your job too well. Hence the toothless journalism in America.
