It's an interesting position to take. If you can discussion of all leaked data dumps do you draw the line when it is about state actors?
Can you discuss Equifax hack, that is about personal information as well, but was done by state actors?
BlueLeaks, it appears, does not, and contains home addresses and other personal information of cops.
Create transparency, investigate and show police misconduct? Great!
Put cops and their families at risk? Nope!
Relatedly, Assange described the files not as "dead man switches" to be unleashed in case of his arrest, extradition, killing as the media liked to portrait it, but instead said that the insurance files contained (unredacted) data that wikileaks intended/intents to release later anyway, in redacted form, and that the encrypted unredacted data was put online to be backups if wikileaks lost the data e.g. due to a raid. The remains of wikileaks activists could then recover the files from the torrents or other people who downloaded the torrents, and could decrypt them to get the data back (but wouldn't release the password into the wild).
Of course, that's what he/they said, and he/they might have lied. But so far we don't know, because no password has been released.
