UK judge refuses to extradite Julian Assange

| They already won. They broke him.

Exactly. They won and we lost. He was a great champion for privacy, security and accountability and the powers that be successfully villified him in the publics eyes and mentally broke him on top of that.
We're all losers in this scenario.

I give a fuck. Actually most fucks I give are about privacy and security.
I also suspect you confuse Assange with Snowden. The USA wants Assange because he leaked video proof for war crimes done by US Soldiers in Iraq.
Snowden was the guy who leaked insider Info from the NSA, a Institution that slowly becomes some kind of KGB/Stasi from US-Capitalism.
