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.

I obviously have issues with his actions in '16

But they were going after him for releasing the footage of the US gunning down civilians. Not his actions during the election.

Yeah but the election shit really resonated with the voting public!

I wonder if that will mean anything for David McBride's sentence. Probably not, because I assume the Australian government has ulterior motives behind bringing Assange home, especially with how corrupt it is in many places. But one can hope.
