Re: Illegal?
"s it actually illegal to hack a government that routinely violates it's own Constitution, spies on people in all jurisdictions without evidence, breaches the local laws of all countries" etc.
Unfortunately, YES. That's why a LOT of us over here in the U.S. want to "drain the swamp" and fix the REAL problem. It beats ignoring the laws and going to jail.
As for extradition - the UK court needs to decide that. If it's NOT warranted, he won't get extradited.
(if I were the UK government, I'd want to be rid of the expensive trial and incarceration anyway)
