@lxo In my opinion, Assange wasn't subject to US law. He was not a citizen and AFAIK, was not in US territory when the leaks were collected or published. Now, I could see if they pressured countries where he holds citizenship or was physically present to enforce their own laws, but I do not agree that the US should seek to prosecute him.
I don't classify him as a journalist, since he doesn't seem to publish secrets from other countries such as #Russia or #China. It seems to be mostly #USA. So it _is_ plausible to consider #Wikileaks as a non-governmental foreign intelligence service, in which case, I think every government reserves the right to strike back. So, as you can see, I'm conflicted, with my primary view being that the USA should not be pursuing Assange, but rather the leakers who served as his sources.
(As a federal employee, I'm not allowed to read anything that leaked, but from what I've seen others write, Manning was very careless about leaking, with some documents identifying undercover agents who had nothing to do with the crimes that were revealed. So this wasn't really whistleblowing, as the leaked materials covered a lot more than waste, fraud, abuse, and crime. The restrictions also make it difficult to form any kind of intelligent opinion.)

Article claims #China and their #Huawei company are pushing a harmful "new IP" in which:
> individuals must register to use the internet, and authorities can shut off an individual user's internet access at any time. In short, Huawei is looking to integrate China’s "social credit," surveillance, and censorship regimes into the internet's architecture.
They call for a larger US role in the international organizations which China is using to push these proposals, such as #ITU.

Oh, no. Looks like #China has had a bad time with violence against schoolkids (usually by adults not associated with their campus or its students). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_attacks_in_China
The US has had at least as bad of a time, but ours are generally perpetrated by students at the campus.

> ... the [US] South and China, two places where people know how to eat.
I haven't been to #China, so I have no opinion on their food (except I know it differs from what we know as #Chinese_food in the US). However, I have worked in #Alabama, #Mississippi, and #Louisiana.
Overall, I was not impressed. #LA had the best food of the three, but it was usually so highly salted that I quickly went back to putting some rice, meat, and beans in a slow-cooker.
The exception was lunchtime: whenever I could make it there, I went to a particular gas station in Baton Rouge to buy lunch. Imagine Popeye's Famous Louisiana chicken, but turned up to 11! (Or maybe Popeye's took the gas station recipe and dialed it down a notch or two.) Anyway, that was good, though that much fried food is naturally unhealthy.
( @p@freespeechextremist.com won't see this, but that's okay. )
