More quotes by Julian Assange
To be alive as a human being is to know, in the same way as it is to have a heart that beats.
Julian Assange
Media is a big problem around the world, it's powerful and can abuse its power.
Julian Assange
Don’t damage computer systems you break into (including crashing them) don’t change the information in those systems (except for altering logs to cover your tracks) and share information.
Julian Assange
It is the media that controls the boundaries of what is politically permissible, so better to change the media. Profit motives work against it, but if we can have the audience understand that most other forms of journalism are not credible, then it may be a forced move.
Julian Assange
We have a way of dealing with information that has sort of personal - personally identifying information in it. But there are legitimate secrets - you know, your records with your doctor that's a legitimate secret. But we deal with whistleblowers that are coming forward that are really sort of well motivated.
Julian Assange
This movement is not about the destruction of law, but the construction of law.
Julian Assange
The only way to keep a secret is to never have one.
Julian Assange
You can either be informed and your own rulers, or you can be ignorant and have someone else, who is not ignorant, rule over you.
Julian Assange
What are the differences between Mark Zuckerberg and me? I give private information on corporations to you for free, and I'm a villain. Zuckerberg gives your private information to corporations for money and he’s Man of the Year.
Julian Assange
Email says that no, it is the governments of Saudi and Qatar that have been funding ISIS.
Julian Assange
If you see the rhetoric from coming out of the Democrats is that they're pro-civil liberties, and an important part of civil liberties is respect for the First Amendment and the rule of law, and that has broken down under the Obama administration, and Hillary Clinton was part of that process.
Julian Assange
Censorship is always cause for celebration. It is always an opportunity because it reveals fear of reform. It means that the power position is so weak that you have got to care what people think.
Julian Assange
The best type of government comes from a government that is scrutinized by the people when they have true information about our governments, major corporations, other power actors in society.
Julian Assange
Non-conformity is the only real passion worth being ruled by.
Julian Assange
Cryptography is the essential building block of independence for organisations on the internet, just like armies are the essential building blocks of states, because otherwise one state just takes over another.
Julian Assange
Every time we witness an act that we feel to be unjust and do not act, we become a party to injustice.
Julian Assange
The US presidency will continue to represent the major power groups of the United States - big business and the military - regardless of who the talking head is.
Julian Assange
As a European Union member state, as a country committed throughout all its history to the fight for the values that I have made my own, as the fifth world power, as a country that has marked my life and European Union houses part of European Union, France can act if it wishes to do so.
Julian Assange
In the justice system, we say there must be open justice where there is to be justice. The judged while trying must themselves be tried before the public.
Julian Assange
Society develops a type of self-censorship, with the knowledge that surveillance exists - a self-censorship that is even expressed when people communicate with each other privately.
