MongoDB's Field-Level Encryption Protects Private Data—Even From DBAs[:
In December 2019, popular document database MongoDB added a fairly radical new feature to the platform: field-level database encryption. At first glance, one might wonder whether this is a meaningful feature in a world that already has at-rest storage encryption and in-flight transport encryption—but after a little closer analysis, the answer is a resounding yes.
One of MongoDB's first customers to use the new technology is Apervita, a vendor that handles confidential data for well over 2,000 hospitals and nearly 2 million individual patients. Apervita worked side by side with MongoDB during development and refinement of the technology.
Since reaching general availability in December, the technology has also been adopted by several government agencies and Fortune 50 companies, including some of the largest pharmacies and insurance providers.
This is a good thing. Field Level Encryption (FLE) is a must for any DB these days.

So Snowden said and so nobody has offered hard evidence to disprove, Snowden gave the Russians and Chinese nothing. Everything he had was turned over to Glenn Greenwald, not "the Russians" or "the Chinese". (Unless you mean that the things that were publicized also became public knowledge to our adversaries, if they didn't know them already).
And not all that which is legal is moral. Not all that is moral is legal. So giving away stuff that wasn't illegal but was utterly and unjustifiably immoral doesn't count in my book, either.
Though I agree a statue is not necessary. It would be if he'd publicized it all, stayed, and was voluntarily in Supermax today. Basically what they're planning for Assange who did nothing but a journalist's job in actuality although talked different from that. Very, very few people can actually walk to a cross willingly, though.
But oh well. We can't all agree on everything.
