Cyber Terrorism?
The Electronic Disturbance Theater has and will remain a heated topic of debate, within its area of political up rise,
civil disobedience, hacktivism, and to a much larger scale extremes acts of cyber terrorism. Many people do have the
right and believe in free speech. The FloodNet programs does allow this in a safer way to the protestors, (as their real
identities can be hidden under their user names.), allowed people around the world to express their views on the
subject without travelling to the protest rallies and provide a non-violent way to be heard in the form of these sit-in
demonstrations, however this causes incorrect actions that block bandwidth, and the internet should be open for
everybody no matter what their political views. The Virtual Republic representatives view this blocking of
communications and data as an act of cyber terrorism. They believe the system should be open for all internet users,
and be accessible with a simple point then click and to those individuals or groups should be banned. Protestors are
asked to protest outside of their oppressors location, with signs and don’t interact with the business inside which with
the blocking of communication and data the EDT are doing. Against such self-evident truths, the digital agit-prop
actions of EDT call for the right to block data in the struggle for the development of democracy and human rights.
