I wasn’t sure what the video had to do with hacktivism during the first minute or so, but then I got really interested in it. Nike changed the name of Karlsplatz to Nikesplatz, and I don’t think it’s surprising that people didn’t like it. This is a good representation of what large corporations are doing […]

Hacktivist Project – LulzSec Leave a comment
LulzSec was a group of six (possibly more) people similar to Anonymous, who hacked websites and gathered information that was supposed to remain secret. The reason I say “was” is that they are in hiding now for fear of other hackers and the authorities. They were exposed by other hackers after getting into a “war” […]
Hacktivist Project – Anonymous Leave a comment
I am extremely interested in Anonymous. They can be ruthless, cruel, and I’m pretty sure they can access any information they want on the internet. At the same time, they are working hard towards keeping our internet free, attacking websites and governments that support bills like SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA. When working together, they are […]
Hacktivist Project – Wikileaks Leave a comment
http://www.projectworldawareness.com/2010/09/wikileaks-and-hacktivist-culture/ That website talks about Wikileaks and the controversy behind it. I think it’s interesting because of the fact that the governments are so aggressive when dealing with leaked information. At the bottom of the page, it says “…it’s public data…it belongs in the public domain…information should be free…if it’s out in the open…it […]

A webpage that creates music based on the user’s mood. There will be a survey for the reader to fill out, and depending on the answers, the page will choose one of several types of songs and play one for the user. It will be based on a points system, i.e.: answer 1 = happy […]
Hacktivism Intent 1 – Chaos Page Leave a comment
A webpage that interacts with the user in a variety of ways depending on the input of the user. It can use anything from lines to pictures and video, to colors, numbers, and words in return. The user might input a math problem, and the webpage will respond with a math-related video or other random […]
Theater of the Opressed Leave a comment
I’ve never been terribly good at metaphors, so it was a bit confusing for me, but I did find it interesting that this person ran for government in Brazil as an “act of theatre”, and actually was elected. It really could be basically a play that breaks the fourth wall by allowing the audience to […]
NMD206 Movie – Phone Phreaks Leave a comment
I really enjoyed watching the movie. A very important point was brought up about halfway through, when the definition of “theft” was questioned. It was said that the crime had to be done for money, and also it had to deprive the original owner of their property. Both of these were argued against, because it […]
Sarah Van Gelder – How Occupy Wall Street Changes Everything Leave a comment
1. What is changed by the Occupy movement? – The level of awareness has been changed by the Occupy movement. Sure, people always knew that there were rich people. They knew that there was a large gap between them (the middle class) and all of those CEOs, magnates, corporate big shots. But the Occupy movement […]
Eli Pariser – The World Needs You to See it With Fresh Eyes Leave a comment
This article shows that a lot of the organizations and systems that are active or in use today are made by mistake or by a small group of people just doing what they think is right. Eli Pariser launched an online petition based on what he felt he was obligated to do as an American, […]
