> How Mr. Assange has become the poster boy of "leakers against the government" with his outrageous egotistical and dickish behavior is beyond me

So, who do you think it should be instead? (genuine question)

Edward Snowden would be the closest to what I have, but before anyone starts pointing out his shortcomings, we can't assume that the perfect poster boy exists already. Maybe they don't, yet.

I like the "John Doe" from the Panama Papers. Remained anonymous, spread his message, didn't add anything unnecessary and remained out of public spectacle.
