The WikiLeaks founder has been held in a prison outside London for the last five years and fought extradition to the U.S. He is expected to return to Australia.

Julian Assange is free.

After living in a cell for more than 5 years, he can soon go home and meet his family again.

I’m wondering if it was worth the sacrifice. The governments and tech companies are spying more than ever on everyone.

    People don’t like the guy, that’s enough jurisdiction for them!

      From this thread, looks like you’re right, sadly…

        I can’t tell if we got bots/shills but these assange threads are getting swamped with comments and voting.

        Not sure if this real public sentiment or somebody is setting it for this “sensitive” topic.

        Nobody can really properly state their position beyond, that guy is a rapist and russian asset… seems like an op tbh

        Same old smear attempts that US has been using for a decade.
