本文探讨了黑客行动主义的概念，这是黑客在互联网上的政治或社会事业。一般来说，黑客，即使是那些黑客政府赞助的网站，已经被负面定型为恶意的寻求刺激者，或者更糟糕的是，网络恐怖分子。但越来越多的出于政治动机的黑客通过参与黑客行动主义而远离网络恐怖主义，这种黑客行动主义的意图更多的是破坏而不是不服从。事实上，某些黑客积极分子已经创造了工具，或者利用现有的工具，为生活在压迫性民族国家的人提供电子前沿的言论自由。本文将表明，这些黑客行动主义者远非网络恐怖分子或寻求刺激者，而是有组织、技术熟练、有政治意识和社会意识的黑客行动主义者，他们寻求挑战压迫性民族国家的权威。
This paper explores the concept of hacktivism, which is hacking for a political or social cause on the Internet. Generally hackers, even those hacking government–sponsored sites, have been negatively stereotyped as malicious thrill seekers or, worse yet, cyberterrorists. But increasingly there are more politically motivated hackers distancing themselves from cyberterrorism by engaging in hacktivism that is intent more upon disruption than disobedience. Certain hacktivists, in fact, have created tools or taken advantage of those already available to provide freedom of speech in the electronic frontier for those living in oppressive nation–states. This paper will show that these hacktivists are, far from being online terrorists or thrill–seekers, organized, technically skilled, politically conscious and socially aware hacktivists who seek to challenge the authority of oppressive nation–states.
