Government responses to Wikileaks

Wikileaks accused the UK Government of partnering with the CIA in 2013, to hack Samsung smart TVs, turning them into covert microphones. This is done by hacking an individual's tv with a program called the Weeping Angel. Once the program is activated, the user's tv never truly goes into off -mode. The TV's inner mic is always recording, to pick up conversations and phrases unknowingly. The owner of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, claimed the CIA is in possession of a digital library, full or Russian techniques, and documents. In addition, he specified and assured the public that they were legit, and proper from a legal, political, and forensic perspective. The CIA, as well as Home Land Security, did not wish to comment or respond to these allegations. More importantly, the CIA noted that they do not respond to construing, or the authenticity of intelligence documents. I feel as if these responses are reasonable. They did not outright deny anything, due to the fact that the allegations are probably true. Although, freedom of speech is a constitutional right, as well as the option to refrain from speaking. However, people who are typically innocent will do all they can to shed light on the truth. There should not be a limit on internet free speech, as freedom of speech is a constitutional right. If someone is not pleased with libel or allegations against them, they are not forced to respond, nor acknowledge they are true.
