Julian Assange's prosecution poses a grave threat to journalists and freedom of the press.
The government should drop its charges against him immediately.

Following publication of a shocking report alleging CIA plotting to kidnap or assassinate @wikileaks publisher Julian Assange, RSF has joined a coalition of 25 organizations again urging the US to drop its appeal seeking to extradite Assange. #FreeAssange rsf.org/en/news/us-pre…
Retweeted by Freedom of the Press Coalition of civil liberties and human rights groups — including @ACLU, @FreedomofPress, @RSF_inter, @EFF, @hrw, and @amnestyusa — again call on Biden admin to drop Assange charges to protect press freedom. news.yahoo.com/civil-libertie…
We’ve described the prosecution as the “most dangerous press freedom issue” in the United States:
freedom.press/news/the-most-…
Yet despite its rhetoric on the importance of press freedom, the Biden administration continues to pursue the charges.
Proud that @fightfortheftr signed on to this @FreedomofPress letter calling on Biden admin to drop charges against #Assange. No matter what you think of him, his moral character, or his politics, we should ALWAYS oppose dangerous overreach that threatens freedom of the press. twitter.com/FreedomofPress…
Retweeted by Freedom of the Press The charges against Assange, brought under the Espionage Act and Computer Fraud and Abuse Act by the Trump DOJ, met near-universal condemnation from civil liberties groups and news organizations: freedom.press/news/press-fre…
Today’s letter to the Department of Justice follows shocking reporting last month that CIA officials discussed kidnapping or even killing Assange in London: news.yahoo.com/kidnapping-ass…

#Missouri Governor Mike Parson's threats of legal action against the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and its reporter for pointing out a security flaw on a state website are absurd.

“This is an effort to intimidate a reporter who is doing important reporting and uncovering a newsworthy story.” washingtonpost.com/media/2021/10/…
Reporters (especially data journalists) and sources have long described the shadow cast by the threat of liability under overbroad "hacking" laws. Today's reckless accusations by the governor of Missouri show that the threat can be wielded against even basic computer use.
It's not just bad security for the Governor of Missouri to attack and vilify a journalist who has discovered (and responsibly disclosed!) a vulnerability. It's a press freedom violation that threatens to chill important reporting.

The reporter discovered this flaw in the site’s HTML source code, which is accessible through every major internet browser. Missouri Gov. Parson’s threat illustrates a fundamental misunderstanding of digital security. twitter.com/J_Hancock/stat…
