Our Weirdness if Free
By Gabriella Coleman
With regards to the ethics around cyber hacking, do you
think it’s justified that the Anonymous group, or any other hacker group,
reveals confidential information about illegal or immoral actions other people
are doing? In other words, is preforming an illegal action via hacking to
reveal illegal actions elsewhere, ok?
Will the group Anonymous centime to exist in the future? As
stated in Cyberdeterence and Cyber War by
Libicki, cyber space will only become more secure as hacking routes are
unavailable. Do you think they will find a way regardless, based on the fact
that cyberspace is not a physical place, but indeed an abstract place with
(what seems like) endless possibilities?
If lulz-oriented actions do somehow, “pull the carpet from
under us” (with regards to destroying the Internet without warning), what would
happen? Chaos would erupt, but what would that mean for the economy, national
security, and every-day life?
