Och det anonyma internet går knappast att stoppa! Det har till och med Jonas Gardell insett. Motstånd från väst har redan börjat. Men det kommer från datorföretagen. Citerar:This week, an open letter appeared on Chinese blogs and online bulletin boards. “Hello, internet censorship institutions of the Chinese government,” it said. “We are the anonymous netizens. We hereby decide that from July 1 2009, we will start a full-scale global attack on all censorship systems you control.”
Beijing’s attempts to manipulate the internet would, the message predicted, “soon be swept on to the rubbish pile of history”.
Chinese internet users, although skilled at dodging the censors, are angrier than they have ever been. The anonymous declaration of war is just one sign of the strains emerging as the global spread of internet access, and its embrace by activists of all stripes, triggers an unprecedented crackdown by national governments that threatens to transform the way hundreds of millions of people communicate.
Now, Beijing is trying to cement its control with a decree that from July 1, all computers sold in the country must come with a program called Green Dam/Youth Escort, which the government says will be used to block access to pornography sites. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other computer makers are protesting and have won the support of US trade officials, who are threatening to bring the matter to the World Trade Organisation.
Men vi måste också kämpa. Jag uppmanar organisationer som Anonymous, Hackers Without Borders, Piratbyrån och The Pirate Bay att starta kampanjer mot censurorganisationerna och för det kinesiska folket. Ger vi dem internet kanske de ger oss ett demokratiskt Kina (Då har vi dessutom kommit ett steg närmare Nordkorealösningen).
