postheadericon Anonymous Launches White House Petition Saying DDoS Should Be Recognized As A Valid Form Of Protest

Few years ago, we had an interesting discussion on whether or not the denial of service (DDoS) could be considered a valid form of protest -. "Sit-in" the modern equivalent of a There are important similarities between a DDoS and a. Sit-ins, and we saw at least one lawyer to request that his client was exercising his rights First Amendment when DDoSing local government of the city. The police, of course, want to take it to the other end to see DDoS attacks as a form of piracy, or even a type of terrorist attack.

Slashdot note that some members of Anonymous have set up a petition We, the people on the site of the White House, calling on the government to recognize DDoS as a valid form of protest.


With the advancement of Internet Techonology, has new reasons to protest. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), and not to any form of piracy in any way. It is equivalent to repeatedly hit the refresh button on a Web page. It is in this sense no different "occupy" protests.

But you can make a reasonable argument for which a DDoS is

But here's the most important point: When you have to petition the government to be told what form of protest is "good", and you've lost the battle. And this is part of the biggest problem here. It seems clear that most DDoS attacks by Anonymous are, obviously, those aimed at the expression. They are trying to make a statement, and sometimes works (but often against). I am in favor of the application is the modern equivalent of a sit and find it disturbing that the government is discussing something much, much worse. At the same time, I often think Anonymous' DDoS race undermines efforts sometimes more, and simply reinforces in the minds of some that Anonymous is made spoiled children destructive. However, having to ask the government to say that their form of expression is the legitimate expression suggests that the government has already won
