>Assange and Wikileaks have been demonised because they decided to release information in such a way as to deliberately influence an election
Wikileaks has always been anti-US, when they finally manage to deliver a good punch they’re suddenly a bad actor?
> also can't help but feel like they've stopped being transparency campaigners and whistleblowers, and now do it for the social media spectacle and publicity. Just look at how they released Vault 7, with their viral cryptic posts before the release. Wikileaks feels more like a media agency than a group of transparency crusaders
Publicity brings more leaks. They’re simply doing a good job.
