This is the part where I make a long statement urging apolitical youth to give a shit. Facts first.
CSC is a core part of the military industrial complex. They make mass surveillance databases and military systems and are active globally.
Gottfrid pissed off the both the MPAA and the US military/government. Look what they did to kimdotcom in total violation of law ... the NZ PM had to apologise personally. Gottfrid was illegally extradited from Cambodia. We're yet to see any evidence to the contrary, despite claims his visa was up apparently it wasn't, and this sort of put-on-plane-back-home treatment is not normal.. also, a fat Swedish aid package to Cambodia went through just after his extradition.
Gottfrid's mother is an academic and has documented the strange behaviour of her own (Swedish) government around his arrest and treatment.
Denmark is a place where it's almost impossible to use cash, where the ex-king kept a harem (it's now a bakery/hotel: I stayed in it), and where the authorities don't need a warrant to track your phone's location over the last year.
The accusation is that, sitting in Cambodia, Gottfrid broke in to some computers for no apparent reason causing zero harm. The reality is that he was mistreated against any notion of personal rights, dragged halfway around the world and locked up in solitary confinement which is generally considered torture under UN definitions. He has been passed from state to state being mistreated. There is still no proof he did anything wrong or harmed anyone. However, there seems to be evidence he helped Assange decrypt the embarassing US military video 'collateral damage'.
The only thing I conclude from this ruling is that the west in general is only a downward spiral in to totalitarianism, and that there is now an inter-state, overt attempt to suppress resistance (Assange, Dotcom, Anakata, etc.) with extreme media coverage to try to influence the rest of us.
Where are we to go? How are we to resist? There is the west and its fall-in-line economic treadmill, or the hinterlands and their available extra-judicial means of extradition (ala Anakata) or oppression. Assange's warning about a transnational dystopia seems ever-more pertinent. You know what I think after having met him? Anakata was trying to understand what's going on in Europe and the world at large, and his heart was in the right place. It fits with his character. After all, his mother is an academic, he was raised to ask questions.
Those who question are unjustly treated... the system is the problem. We can use the internet to create change. Don't let cryptocurrency abort as a foetus: it's being regulator-challenged to death. Don't let nominal democracy convince you to be placid. Ask your own questions, force some coverage for your discoveries, and change the world. Do it for Gottfrid.
