Bonus Material: The 2009 Declaration of the Anonymous Netizens

By Edward Nawotka

Ai Weiwei’s call for protest coincides with circulation of the 2009 Declaration of the Anonymous Netizens, a protest document that criticizes the Chinese government for having “deprived your netizens of the freedom of speech.” The anonymous group then claims “we are going to launch our attack worldwide on your censorship system starting on July 1st, 2009.”

The document boldly declares: “NOBODY wants to topple your regime. We take no interest whatsoever in your archaic view of state power and your stale ideological teachings… Your regime is not our enemy. We are not affiliated in any way with any country or organization, and we are not waging this war on any country or organization, not even on you. YOU are waging this war on yourself. YOU are digging your own grave through corruption and antagonization.”
