‘Last tweet in 2018’: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange returns to X after 8 years, reveals why his account was inactive
After over two years of inactivity, Julian Assange resumes posting on X, sharing a photo from Sydney.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has returned to the social media platform X after an eight-year hiatus. In a post on Friday, Assange revealed that his account had last been used in 2018, when it was managed as part of his defense campaign. The return to X was announced earlier through the WikiLeaks account, which shared a photograph of Assange in Sydney.
Assange's personal account had been largely inactive since June 2024, shortly after he shared materials related to his plea deal with US authorities. This marks his renewed public presence on the platform, where his account had previously been actively used during the campaign surrounding his legal case.
