[kictanet] Hacktivism - the next frontier

[Du Toit, Jaco]

Dear Robert,

 

Thank you for this.  Artists are also using more and more Hacking as a form of “creativity”;  several ethical issues are posed in terms of the use of Hacking as a form of engaging in change, see as an example http://www.neural.it/

Hi,

It has been a long time since I made a purely IT post, here is my attempt of remaining relevant.

 


Cyberspace—The New Medium for Activists 


Hactivism combines hacking with political activism—and it's transforming political protest and taking it to a new level. 

 

Is it an instrument for positive change and true dissent or yet another vehicle for cybercriminals?
