Edward Snowden & Julian Assange – Heroes forgotten by the media

We are transitioning away from YouTube. Be sure to subscribe to the following channels to stay updated with our journalism:


In our last video of the year, we present our past work with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and WikiLeaks founder and journalist Julian Assange, who talk about their motivations, revelations and much more. Edward Snowden is still living in exile in Russia, while many Western countries deny him the right to asylum, even though he exposed how the US illegally collected and spied on data about its leaders and citizens. After a British judge unilaterally rejected an appeal against Julian Assange’s extradition order from the UK to the United States in June 2023, Assange is making a final legal attempt to prevent his extradition before the London High Court in February 2024. Large parts of the German media have greatly reduced their coverage of both cases and rarely, if ever, warn the public of the serious consequences they pose for press and civil liberties.
