    Didn't listen to this in its entirety before posting. Note, also, it dates back to 2015.

    Listening to it in full, I have certain reservations about the brilliant Appelbaum. For example, his support of the Antifa group, which some consider 'astroturf'?
    His provocative and overly negative statements?
    Considering how many people have wanted to target and disrupt Wikileaks?
    Sarah Harrison is the one who got Edward Snowden out of Hong Kong and into exile.
    Given only 1% of Snowden files were ever released (via The Intercept's Omidyar and Greenwald) some say Snowden was a 'limited hangout' leak.
    Certainly, tangled webs amidst the threats to western 'democracies'.
    Everyone is at least free to make up their own minds...
