Glenn Greenwald Charged with Cybercrimes in Brazil

While I really don’t like the turn Greenwald has taken in becoming an activist hiding in the guise of a journalist, the charges seem highly dubious. I certainly have no faith in the Brazilian justice system. That being said, hacking is a crime and journalists should be wary of being used to further the interests of those who violate the privacy of private citizens. I hope Greenwald was not actively involved in any hacking scheme.

Quote:
RIO DE JANEIRO — Federal prosecutors in Brazil on Tuesday charged the American journalist Glenn Greenwald with cybercrimes for his role in bringing to light cellphone messages that have embarrassed prosecutors and tarnished the image of an anti-corruption task force.
In a criminal complaint made public on Tuesday, prosecutors in the capital, Brasília, accused Mr. Greenwald of being part of a “criminal organization” that hacked into the cellphones of several prosecutors and other public officials last year.
Mr. Greenwald, an ardent critic of Brazil’s far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, is a deeply polarizing figure in Brazil, where his work is lionized by leftists and condemned as partisan and heavy handed by officials in the Bolsonaro administration.
The news organization Mr. Greenwald co-founded, The Intercept Brasil, published articles last year based on the leaked cellphone messages that raised questions about the integrity and the motives of key members of Brazil’s justice system.

Do you think journalists should simply accept official Government narratives and not be activists in their personal lives if they so desire?
You seem to hate investigative journalists who uncover the truth, like Julian Assange and Glenn Greenwald, because they always make you look stupid for believing official Government narratives.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

I started to say I didn't really think Julian Assange was an investigative journalist, but I'm a little out of the loop. Considering the way information is now transmitted, this far into the digital era, He's the epitome of an investigative journalist. I don't know if I like him, but he is a man for our time.

The charges Brazil has brought against Greenwald are nearly identical to the ones the State Dept has brought against Assange.

Oh, and only one presidential candidate has condemned these charges against Greenwald.
Guess which.
