Electronic civil disobedience


Electronic civil disobedience (ECD) - any type of civil disobedience using information technology to carry out the action. In practice, this is mainly about using the Internet. ECD is a contemporary form of civic disobedience, pioneered by American writer and philosopher Henry David Thoreau, author of the Walden essay program, who lived in the nineteenth century; or, Life in the Woods. Electronic civil disobedience is used both in political and social action, as well as in actions directed against specific actors - examples are attacks against computer companies recognized in certain environments for damaging the development of information technology (eg known fact of ownership of code fragments in the operating system Linux). Generally speaking, the ECD specifies that it engages a large number of people who perform legally-enforceable activities (eg, multiple web uploads), but the sum of these activities is devastating for the attacked server.
