  We are in the worst possible timeline.

  • Edward Snowden

  • Ross Ulbricht

  • Julian Assange

  • Roman Semenov

  • Alexey Pertsev

  • Roman Storm

  Every one of these people are honest individuals who ran afoul of Orwellian, fascist policies. If policies like this existed in the 80’s, the internet itself would be considered a terrorist technology. Humanity is SO fucked.

    Decided to TL;DR it…

    Edward Snowden is a whistleblower that is not exiled in Russia.

    Ross Ulbricht is the founder of the first well-known darknet market Silk Road.

    Julian Assange is one of the founders of Wikileaks, a whistleblower site.

    Roman Semyonov, Alexey Pertsev and Roman Storm seems to be related to cryptocurrency laundering. Hadn’t heard of them.

    I’d add:

    Chelsea Manning, another whistleblower.

    Aaron Swartz was accused of sharing MIT’s academic articles and committed suicide.

    No way you can put all those people in the same basket. Some of them as stated in the other comments are all but honest.
