Vault 7 was a trash leak.

Vault 7 did inform the public of the malware and security flaws the CIA used to monitor and hack dissidents, Allowing software companies to patch and fix security issues. But the initial leak had no detailed documentation. It just listed the malware and what it did in a vague way. Detailed documentation and source code came later, which is pretty stupid

It was a trash leak in terms of what's changed in the community's knowledge of what is being spied on. It was important because we now know that the CIA was frustrated enough by how the NSA was cooperating (or not) with them so much that they sidestepped them completely and duplicated tons of what they do.

Wait. it did?!? did not know that!!!

the decision to not realise binaries was a fucking pussy decision btw. fuck Assange. as soon as he turned into a celebrity he capitulated, this isn't the first time. same with the manning leaks…

>fuck Assange

Speaks a man who has had the privilege of freedom for the last 5+ yrs and has yet to do 0.1% as much as Assange in regards to speaking truth to power or furthering transparency of untamed political organs.

Plus he nailed Pamela Anderson on the side, just for good measure!

What he has done in 5yrs I could only dream to do in a lifetime!
