Couldn't find any evidence of this. I know when it happened in 2016 4chan was trying to get him access, but I don't see anything about this time, unless the press is suppressing it.
Dude that's awesome. I don't know how I feel about Assange *exactly*, but I love the disruption of gov power. Surprised they don't jam it or just arrest the guy providing.
I get what your saying, but blocking one guy who can't go anywhere's internet access is orders of magnitude easier than stopping smuggling in thousands of prisons.
