You mean the site co-founded by Assange who signed a SF312?
In my opinion it would be a disaster if you could receive compensation for future policy input, act on that input in office, and be immune simply because you were not in office when you received it.
Just prove he did or did not do it instead of whatever this nonsense take is.
Title is a pretty dumb take.
Publishing is not a crime, which is correct.
I cannot be charged with a crime for making posts on Reddit, Lemmy or wiki pages. (I absolutely can be charged by publishing to wiki leaks though under agreements)
Publishing classified information is treason under Title 18 of the U.S. Code, Section 798
This is just stupidly obvious.
The only good thing he did was bring to focus the problem with over classification of information. We now have Controlled Unclassified Information thanks to that.
Looks like a computer vision fever dream
I do not think it will be effective. This has been done before in exactly the same way and that failed.

I absolutely hate The Hill simply because they cannot be bothered to take 2 seconds to link to the damn bills they talk about in their articles.
For all I know they could talk about Congress passing a bill ratifying that the color of the sky shall be considered Red and the reader has no idea if it is true or not.
If you watch their hearings and assemblies a lot of Congress appears to be focused on trying to get sound bytes and Tik Tok clips out of what they say. The clips just seem so weird and forced when seen in context of what the topic of discussion is.
We didn't elect people to be actors on the clock, please make law and talk to the press later.
This is a ridiculously off target response
OK then.
Let's sit down and read the actual amendment instead of taking out of context a section of some news quote which is likeky already out of context by said news before you shortened it.

The user interface in my opinion is pretty bad. It looks like old reddit which wasn't that good. I have to manually expand each post to view it instead of just scrolling through.
Kbin is mostly better. But still a little rough on a few points.
Reddit in desktop mode is better.
Sync in card view mode was the best. Still looking for that experience.

Deleware River that is as wide as a 33+ lane highway is not a natural border? Wacky.
