This interview was the first time Julian Assange had been heard from after his communication channels were cut off by the Ecuadorian embassy in March, 2018. The interview proved also to be the very last time he was heard from, as on 11th April 2019, Assange was carried out from the embassy by UK police and taken to Belmarsh Prison on the charge of having breached his bail conditions. He has since spent most of his time in solitary confinement and is currently awaiting an extradition hearing at Woolwich Crown Court on February 24th, 2020. An hour long, this last interview is of interest historically, as well as in its own right, covering subjects such as the conditions of his detainment, his reasons for beginning WikiLeaks and his treatment at the hands of the press, the consequences for culture should WikiLeaks disappear, the meaning and importance of cryptography, the recent advances in AI hacking, cyber-warfare and surveillance technologies, and very much more. https://worldethicaldata.org/node/49 ===== Movies ===== Collateral Murder (2010): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1820416/?ref_=nm_knf_t2 The War You Don't See (2010):https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1809387/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_37 WikiRebels: The Documentary (2010):https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1805516/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_38 Julian Assange: A Modern Day Hero?
