Assange, whose website has angered and embarrassed Washington by releasing confidential U.S. diplomatic cables, said China was the main technological enemy of WikiLeaks, not the United States.
“China has aggressive and sophisticated interception technology that places itself between every reader inside China and every information source outside China,” Assange told Britain’s New Statesman magazine.
“We’ve been fighting a running battle to make sure we can get information through and there are now all sorts of ways Chinese readers can get on to our site,” he said in extracts of the interview published on the magazine’s website.
An interesting time capsule (2011). Interesting use of the possessive we.
Wonder how Assange feels about it today.
(I love every single last one of you.) :af-heart:
Libertarians often end up doing the right things for the wrong reasons.
At least Assange spent most of his time punching at the USA.
Also kinda funny how HK let Snowden escape to Russia.
Yeah this is reminding me of the most recent south park season where they critiqued the ICE camps but then like the very next episode went waaay harder on china for their drug laws and the whinnie the poo thing and shit like that. Im prodrug but i understand China's stance, though alas matt and trey prpbably dont know or give a shit abt the opium wars.
