    That’s all very clever and good, but Assange has been cooling his heels in Belmarsh Prison since 2019 awaiting extradition to the US and Ralf Weinmann only escaped the same fate by dropping off the face of the earth.

    Wikileaks has been a dead letter for over a decade and the western public is now so thoroughly poisoned against big intel leaks that its doubtful an effort to reinvent the site would have any benefit.

    So we’re still back to a guy with a wrench being an effective means of dealing with entrepreneurial hackers.

      Unfortunately you are absolutely right and I would say that computing work on an international scale always tend to be a type of war : it was so from the start ( that is to say with the decryption of Enigma machine mesages by the UK and the USA )
