The Great Chinese Firewall.

Exclusion could have legal basis for the Chinese Government.

Exclusion could have legal basis for the Chinese Government.

I do not authorize psychological nor psychiatric formulations, interpretations nor diagnosis, etc. I am not a lawyer, this is no legal advise nor advise of any kind. I am not knowledgeable enough in International Law nor in International Communications Law or any Law applying to the Great Chinese Information Firewall.

However I do have personal experience on harassment, mobbing, concealment, promotion and/or induction of Crime, censorship and the like.

I restate: I am writing this from my unique personal experience without being a lawyer.

I have faced harassment, mobbing, callousness, disinformation, misinformation among others. And I have not being served Justice.

I have seen how pernicious information in The West is propagated despite not only being fake*, but being false, patently so, unquestionable so.

I have presented arguments I think show convincingly so.

I have tried to correct not only fake but false information in several information portals, whose identity I think I must not disclose, at least now.

I have fought not only fake but false information that is pernicious.

Here at Substack I tried contacting somewhat directly posters of false information I think is pernicious or merely erroneous and patently to me uninformed, ignorant is the popular word.

I admit publicly I had very few but positive responses if I received a reply at all.

Most of what I received in return is either offense, hate, more ignorance, censorship, among others but noteworthily: Firewalls.

Exclusion of me commenting because I am neither a subscriber nor a paid subscriber.

I have seen how not only fake, but false and pernicious information promotes crime.

One consideration in my mind writing my “Carta al Pueblo de México” is that presenting it to each authority with the obligation to fulfill my Right of Petition as I see it might promote the commission of crimes by claiming they did not receive it, or, among others do not have the information I asked them to provide me.

Or they could claim falsely it´s protected by National Security Interests or they have no relevant information to provide to fulfill the exercise of My Right of Petition.

Right of Petition in México is a sort of FOIA request. As far as understand I can exert it through X, formerly twitter. I did that more than a month ago, and I still have no reply by any authority even received it, and therefore are working on it.

So, my letter to the People of México was addressed to all Mexican Authorities without specifying and I specifically sent two emails to the Legal Counsel of the Mexican Presidency, and they did not even acknowledge they did receive my email and petition.

This the text of the first email.

I tweeted with @ to my President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and she did not reply either. I cannot do so directly because I am not verified, and I am not verified because X, formerly tweeter does not allow me to do so in the device I use formerly twitter, now X.

I have no other device to verify myself to X, formerly twitter, because I was extorted to pay for an Apple Device in which I cannot safely do so, because it might explode while recharging it.

And I also considered that the information provided in my petition has to be communicated, shared, sent to the General Attorney of México´s Office because it contains information that all public officials are forced by Law to do so. I was kidnapped, such crime is so serious that it does not require for me to go personally to do so. And in my unique personal situation I don´t feel safe to do so myself. Specially considering such Attorney´s Office, their workers, etc., might be encouraged to commit more crimes by me merely showing up to put a personal formal complaint in any District Attorney´s Office within my Country.

So, to my layperson´s thought without never, ever at all having had a lawyer representing legally my interests, and never at all, never having authorized anyone to represent my legal interests, including my Health Interests I cannot do so if I think I am not only not going to get Justice, I would be putting myself in further serious risk of serious harm, but willingly, knowingly would be promoting, encouraging or fomenting more Crimes than those I already justifiably to me already have been committed against me.

And!, that would as a law abiding citizen, not merely as a victim, give me another new obligation to make another formal complaint for those new apparently crimes, and without having ever never at all a lawyer to represent my legal and my health interests.

That´s why I proceed and proceeded the way I did: I did not see any other way.

¿How is that relevant to the Great Chinese Firewall?.

Because the Chinese Government might be using it to fight the promotion of Crime by Foreign Information that the Chinese Government cannot address any other way.

I can sympathize with such situation because it is similar enough to the one I lived and I am living.

It is not outside my perception that Countries filtering Foreign or Domestic Information might have the same motivations, reasons and incentives: curtail the promotion of Crimes within their countries. In their unique situation where fighting false and pernicious information cannot be done any other way.

And with the irrenunciable obligation to fight and discourage Crimes within their borders.

Whether that is incongruous with promoting or committing other Crimes within their borders is irrelevant:

Some Public Officials have discretion which, when, where and how to fight crimes, specially those that involve Diplomacy, those committed, fomented or encouraged from abroad, from another Country.

Even with the mere participation of a Foreign Country like the US as an intermediary, where a significant portion of platforms spreading not only fake, but false harmful information have Legal Residence.

Foreign Jurisdiction is a know exception to the obligation to fight Crime because no Country has Foreign Jurisdiction outside the International Systems to do so. Some Countries have only National Jurisdiction like the US. And are free to fight Crimes from abroad within their border as they see fit by International Law, precisely because the International Law Mechanisms cannot be used effectively and or do not apply to them.

And since the US has not accepted Full International Jurisdiction in equal terms with other Countries, to my thought some other Countries are justified in filtering foreign content or fighting misinformation any way they see fit legally within their borders if the US plays a significant role in spreading false, harmful, erroneous information that cannot be fought any other way.

*Showpeople use fake some of the time, some most of the time like.

QED.

This shows I am the victim 27/2017.

This also shows I am the victim 27/2017.

Thanks.
