Julian Assange exiled himself to the Ecuador Embassy seeking asylum from rape charges. The founder of WikiLeaks has immunity in this embassy and has been hiding for just over four years now. Ecuador announced that while Assange has not been evicted from the embassy, he has been disconnected from the internet, in order for the embassy to distance itself from the source of leaks. WikiLeaks has been targeting Hilary Clinton and her campaign in its most recent leaks, and Ecuador wants nothing to do with the attempts to sway the election.
