Amazon sperrt seine Server für Wikileaks, nachdem massiver Druck aus der Politik augeübt wurde. Das darf in den USA - dem gelobten Land der Demokratie und Pressefreiheit - nicht passieren - oder wo ist sonst der Unterschied zu China und Russland?

Anbei mein Brief an den Geschäftsführer:

To: CEO Amazon

You have decide to ban and discontinue service for Wikileaks. This clearly shows your disrespect for a free press for the sake of avoiding political pressure. I would expect such a behaviour in china or russia but not in the so called "mothertland of democracy" having a free press act and always fond of stating that you are bringing freedom and democracy to the world. HA! Democracy and fredom is fine for others, as long as it serves the interests of the US. But beware of conflicting with US interests, in that moment democracy and the related values do no longer count.

I have decide, that I have to take the power to support democracy in my own hands. Therfore I will not use your services any longer. Now I am banning you and hope a lot of other customers do so, as well.

Just for you informarion - this is the statement from reporters without frontiers - a well respected and independant international organization:

Wikileaks hounded?
Published on 4 December 2010
On the same subject

Reporters Without Borders condemns the blocking, cyber-attacks and political pressure being directed at cablegate.wikileaks.org, the website dedicated to the US diplomatic cables. The organization is also concerned by some of the extreme comments made by American authorities concerning WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange.

Earlier this week, after the publishing several hundred of the 250.000 cables it says it has in its possession, WikiLeaks had to move its site from its servers in Sweden to servers in the United States controlled by online retailer Amazon. Amazon quickly came under pressure to stop hosting WikiLeaks from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and its chairman, Sen. Joe Lieberman, in particular.

After being ousted from Amazon, WikiLeaks found a refuge for part of its content with the French Internet company OVH. But French digital economy minister Eric Besson today said the French government was looking at ways to ban hosting of the site. WikiLeaks was also recently dropped by its domain name provider EveryDNS. Meanwhile, several countries well known for for their disregard of freedom of expression and information, including Thailand and China, have blocked access to cablegate.wikileaks.org.

This is the first time we have seen an attempt at the international community level to censor a website dedicated to the principle of transparency. We are shocked to find countries such as France and the United States suddenly bringing their policies on freedom of expression into line with those of China. We point out that in France and the United States, it is up to the courts, not politicians, to decide whether or not a website should be closed.

Meanwhile, two Republican senators, John Ensign and Scott Brown, and an independent Lieberman, have introduced a bill that would make it illegal to publish the names of U.S. military and intelligence agency informants. This could facilitate future prosecutions against WikiLeaks and its founder. But a criminal investigation is already under way and many U.S. politicians are calling vociferously for Assange’s arrest.

Reporters Without Borders can only condemn this determination to hound Assange and reiterates its conviction that WikiLeaks has a right under the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment to publish these documents and is even playing a useful role by making them available to journalists and the greater public.

We stress that any restriction on the freedom to disseminate this body of documents will affect the entire press, which has given detailed coverage to the information made available by WikiLeaks, with five leading international newspapers actively cooperating in preparing it for publication.

Reporters Without Borders would also like to stress that it has always defended online freedom and the principle of “Net neutrality,” according to which Internet Service Providers and hosting companies should play no role in choosing the content that is placed online

Unterstütze ich voll und ganz. Ich habe gestern versucht mein Paypal Konto zu löschen. Mehrmals versucht, geht nicht. Ich hatte mal mein e-bay account versucht zu löschen, geschweige denn Kontakt zu machen. Ging nicht. Das höre ich schon öfters. Man kommt schnell rein, aber komischerweise nicht raus. Der Cyberwar hat angefangen, auch wenn es nur wenige eingestehen wollen, wie am Anfang mit der Erderwärmung.Irgendwann hoffe ich verstehen die meisten, daß ein neues Zeitalter der Demokratie geboren ist. No Amazon, No Ebay, No Paypal etc....
