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.

While I agree on the facts I want to offer a slightly different (possible) conclusion: a organisation like wikileaks needs resources and supporters. If they are targeted by all the “good guy”-countries and the only one willing to support them is “evil guy” Russia, then they are not in a position to resist. They chose to compromise their integrity instead of just not existing.
If the western world wants a whistleblower/leaks organisation that follows journalistic integrity and ethics, they need to fund it even if it leaks their own internal documents.
