Prisons Are for Dangerous People Who Pose a Threat to the Public, Not People Who Inform the Public
Why have no EPO officials been put behind bars yet? How many crimes and how severe a crime (or crimes) need be committed?
Journalists risk their lives and engage in self-sacrifice. Their motivations are very seldom financial.
The world is becoming more edgy and extreme.
Bad people try to kill journalism. As a result, a lot of corruption never gets covered by any media. Either there are bribes or it is considered risky.
Consider how EPO Cocainegate, for instance, is only ever covered by us.
Techrights has a new scoop coming regarding EUIPO, EPO (EUIPO swindle), and Cocainegate. Europe has become extremely corrupt and we'll be covering some new examples this week. At the end of the week EPO workers go on strike.
Prisons are for people who commit crimes, not people who expose the criminals (or combat dictatorship and authoritarianism by nonviolent transparency). █
