Julian Assange erinnert sich über Geheimdienst-Bericht zum 26C3: Netzneutralität ist Terrorismus (Update)

Netzneutralität führt zu Terrorismus, weil dann keine Terror-Webseiten mehr gesperrt werden können. Diese Argumentation soll ein amerikanischer Geheimdienstmitarbeiter in einem Bericht über den CCC-Kongress 2009 geschrieben haben. Das sagt zumindest Julian Assange, der aufgrund seiner Erinnerungen Klage in Schweden eingereicht hat.

Laut WikiLeaks hat die Schwedische Staatsanwalt nach einer Klage von Julian Assange Ermittlungen eingeleitet. Am 27. Dezember 2009 war Julian auf dem Weg von Stockholm nach Berlin, um auf dem 26. Chaos Communication Congress einen Vortrag zu halten. Laut Anklageschrift ist auf dem Flug seine Tasche mit drei Laptops verschwunden. In Julians Worten:

On 11 June 2013, US marine special intelligence system administrator (MoS 2651) Matthew Hosburgh, a witness for the prosecution in the Bradley Manning court martial, testified that he had engaged in an intelligence reporting activity in relation to me at the 26C3 meeting in Berlin (26-30 December 2009), where I delivered a talk about WikiLeaks. Hosburgh also engaged in intelligence-gathering at a talk by Jeremie Zimmermann at the same Congress. Mr. Zimmermann is a personal friend of mine and a vocal supporter of WikiLeaks. In the beginning of 2012 he was targeted at a US airport by the FBI in an attempt to recruit intelligence about me and WikiLeaks. Hosburgh subsequently wrote the report ‚CCC Here Be Dragons Trip Report‘, which has been withheld from the public records associated with Bradley Manning’s case although it was submitted as evidence. The report was leaked to WikiLeaks and was being prepared for publication during September 2010. The report was among the WikiLeaks materials that had been kept encrypted in the suitcase that was seized on 27 September 2010 when I was travelling from Stockholm to Berlin.

Leider ist dieser „CCC Here Be Dragons Trip Report“ nie öffentlich geworden, aber laut der Erinnerung von Julian Assange soll da unter anderem das gestanden haben:

1. Jeremie Zimmermann and his organisation La Quadrature du Net are part of the campaign for ‚Network Neutrality‘.
2. ‚Network Neutrality‘ is a legislative reform that mandates „the principle that internet service providers and governments should treat all data on the internet equally, in the same way that electricity is charged the same regardless of whether the device is a TV or a power tool“.
3. If there is no discrimination of services on the internet by telecommunications companies there may be less blocking (censoring) of internet services and sites.
4. If there is less internet censorship there may be more people communicating with terrorist websites.
5. If there are more people communicating with terrorist websites then there may be more terrorism. If there is more terrorism then US bases in Germany may be more likely to suffer a terrorist attack.

Netzneutralität ist also Terrorismus. Da haben wir’s.

Update: Laut NDR und Süddeutsche hat Julian eine ähnliche Strafanzeige auch bei der Bundesanwaltschaft in Karlsruhe eingereicht.
