There are a ton of rumors going around on social media that Julian Assange has been assassinated and the Wikileaks dead man’s switch has been activated. I don’t believe the rumors. The rumors are just that, rumors. They come in response to these odd Wikileaks tweets:

I don’t think the rumors of Julian Assange being assassinated are true. I don’t know who would try and start this rumor if I”m right and this is false, but this is how crazy things have gotten in our lifetime. The Wikileaks dead man’s switch thing is very odd though.
