Again, purposely digging up confidential information and then exposing it is illegal.
Going up to Snowden and saying "Erm, sir, you might have told us that the American government is spying on us every moment of our lives, but, erm, actshually, doing that was illegal, so unfortunately, sir, you are not epic and you don't deserve freedom of speech protections"
what an absolute fucking dweeb, holy shit
I will go tell Putin to make it "confidential information" that he's a bad person, then maybe you'll shut the fuck up for a single moment of your life because a bootlicker like you will be forced to obey it if you ever go there
Not reporting to the government that people were hiding Jews was illegal in certain countries in the 1940s, so I'm glad you're not in that time period because it sounds like you'd be reporting the lot of them
However, it is against the law. It’s not the same thing as free speech.
Yeah, because free speech isn't a real thing. That's the point. I very much doubt that there's even one semi-functional country on the planet that does not restrict speech to at least some degree.
Do you see how these two statements cannot be true at the same time?
Again, purposely digging up confidential information and then exposing it is illegal.
Talking realistically and honestly about something is freedom of speech.
If you are that dense that you think those are the same things, then I might as well talk to a brick wall.

Again, I don’t disagree and I find it commendable what both did exposing things.

not very "free" if there are restrictions, is it
