Julian Assange is free.

After living in a cell for more than 5 years, he can soon go home and meet his family again.

I'm wondering if it was worth the sacrifice. The governments and tech companies are spying more than ever on everyone.

The point is that he had/has an interest in keeping Russia happy, that means that everything WL has published since taking Russia's money is probably only to the detriment of the west.

That doesn't mean that WL publishes false/fake information, however true propaganda is still propaganda and serves a political agenda.

By allying themselves with Russia, WL has made it clear that they are only really focusing on the west's transgressions, and will mostly ignore Russia's.

They are no longer impartial activists, they have taken sides, but still claim to be impartial.

That is the issue
