Anonymous Files Petition To Make DDoS Legal Form of Protest 323
hypnosec writes "Anonymous has filed a petition with the U.S. Government asking the Obama administration to make Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks a legal form of protest. Anonymous has argued that because of advancements in internet technology, there is a need for new ways of protest. The hacking collective doesn't consider DDoS as a form of attack and equates it to hitting the 'refresh' button on a webpage. Comparing these attacks to the 'occupy' protests, Anonymous notes that instead of people occupying an area, it is their computers occupying a website for a particular period of time."

I am in a state of super-position. Attempting to quantify me causes me to collapse to an observable state in this reality. I am Anonymous Quantum.

I would say it is little different from the Koch brothers busing in a bunch of uninformed societal dregs to protest issues they know nothing about
So, the Koch brothers were the ones behind OWS?

Wait... you mean those little buttons on the walk signal poles actually do something after all?
