-::::-A new e-mail list has been formed to discuss and
debate what has been termed 'hacktivism'. Refacing
corporate and government web-pages, organising
community based web servers or micropower radio
stations, using mobile comms to create
communication channels for poor, remote or
oppressed people: the fusion of activism and
hacking has begun to create some very creative
projects - not to mention some interesting
practical, tactical and even ethical questions.
-::::-
The e-mail list is a space to allow activists and
hackers of all persuasions to discuss what the word
'hacktivism' actually means and the issues
surrounding it. It can also be used as a forward
channel for any interesting hacktivism news or
opinion. Please forward this announcement to
interested people.
