   For the first time in the Espionage Act's more-than-100-year history, the U.S. has obtained an Espionage Act conviction for basic journalistic acts, EFF’s @davidgreene told the @nytimes of Julian Assange’s plea deal. “These charges should never have been brought.” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/24/us/politics/julian-assange-plea-deal.html

     @eff @davidgreene @nytimes But Assange was never a journalist and he did commit actual crimes.
     Plus, there is all that stuff about Russia that he refused to publish, and that doesn't speak well of his reputation.
