French judge on the International Criminal Court targetted by Big Tech

Nicolas Guillou is a French judge of the International Criminal Court.

He "lost all access to several American digital services — such as hosting, online shopping, and banking — provided by American companies like Airbnb, Amazon and PayPal. The US justified this sanction because Guillou issued arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, due to Israeli attacks of a genocidal nature in Palestinian territory."[1]

Guillou described the sanctions:

It goes far beyond simply being banned from US territory. The sanctions affect all aspects of my daily life. They prohibit any American individual or legal entity, any person or company, including their overseas subsidiaries, from providing me with services.

All my accounts with American companies, such as Amazon, Airbnb, PayPal and others, have been closed. For example, I booked a hotel in France through Expedia, and a few hours later, the company sent me an email canceling the reservation, citing the sanctions. In practice, you can no longer shop online because you do not know if the packaging your product comes in is American. Being under sanctions is like being sent back to the 1990s.

On top of that, all payment systems are American: American Express, Visa, Mastercard. Overnight, you find yourself without a bank card, and these companies have an almost complete monopoly, at least in Europe. American companies are actively involved in intimidating sanctioned individuals – in this case, the judges and prosecutors who serve justice in contemporary armed conflicts. These sanctions can last over a decade or even longer. Putting someone under sanctions creates a state of permanent anxiety and powerlessness, with the intent of discouragement.[2]
