Description
Political hackers, like the Anonymous collective, have demonstrated their willingness to use political violence to further their agendas. However, many of their causes are intuitively good things to fight for. This book argues that when the state fails to protect people, hackers can intervene. It highlights the space for hackers to operate as legitimate actors; details what actions are justified towards what end; outlines mechanisms to aid ethically justified decisions; and directs the political community on how to react. Applying this framework to hacking operations including the Arab Spring, police brutality in the USA, and Nigerian and Ugandan homophobic legislation, it offers a unique contribution to hacking as a contemporary political activity.
