Anonymous threatens Justice Department over hacktivist death
Anonymous Operation Last Resort

In anger over the recent death of an Internet activist who faced federal charges, hackers claiming to be from the group Anonymous threatened early Saturday to release sensitive information about the U.S. Department of Justice.
They claimed to have one such file on multiple servers ready for immediate release.
The hackers apparently hijacked the website of the U.S. government agency responsible for federal sentencing guidelines, where they posted a message demanding the United States reform its justice system or face incriminating leaks to select news outlets.

When the real W.O.P.R was around, those kids' parents weren't even around.

Why don't they attack suicide hotlines' web sites for not protecting Aaron Schwartz?

I had a discussion about this regarding the Facebook partnering for 'suicide protection', but truly suicidal people aren't going to call a hotline, as they've already made the decision to do so.

A suicide hotline would not have helped Aaron Schwartz anyways, as his issues weren't going to get any better as he was being forced into a corner.
 
They probably mean well, maybe, but they're dragging Aaron's legitimate causes so far down into their muck. I was fortunate to had met the guy once, and I can't help but think this is something he wouldn't have wanted. We don't need a legitimate grass roots movement dragged through the mud over stuff like this.

My advice, put away the Guy Fawkes mask, turn down the RATM and read a book. You live in a real democracy. Not a perfect one, those don't exist, a real one. That makes you more free than most people alive today and all the dead ones. Your frustration shouldn't primarily be focused on the brokenness of the system, but how the vast majority of your fellow citizens disagree with you that it's broken, or, at least, fundamentally disagree with what the solution is. The goal should be to change that -- that's how democracies work.

Website defacements just create more of an excuse for a crackdown. If you're going to have an information war, then make it worth your time. Break into the prison industrial complex and get evidence that shows that crimes are being created so that prisoners can be kept for profit. Expose email trails of corrupt judges who put away kids for kickbacks, etc.
 
Just don't take down X-Box Live.

Edit, nvm. If you feel the need to target Microsoft, please take over Microsoft's servers and destroy all the machines that created that crappy product called Windows 8 and make everything on X-Box Live free. :D

First of all modern democracies are not the only examples of freer societies. It's just that the people in power would like us to think so, so we feel that we're lucky, instead of knowing what really happened in history. If more people knew they would not feel so lucky and might start saying Hey - this isn't so good after all!

The idea that the USA or the UK is a democracy is .... lost for words. The democracry of Athens, the British Levellers, Diggers, and Chartists, and the founders of the American Constitution would not recognise these moden societies as democracies. Power has been centralised, and the effective power of the citizen badly eroded over the last three decades.

You can campaign all you like, vote hwo you want, it isn't going to change very much at all. Those systems are not where justice and equality are to be found - not any more.

This I would agree with:

The politicians say we are "apathetic" because few of us vote as a percentage of the electorate. That's not apathy it's despair and disillusion.
When political systems fail to permit effective debate, dissent and change, people's desire for justice and freedom turns to religion and the arts. That has been happening.
Secondly to what the Poles under Communism called the Little Solidarity - people focus on family survival and preserving the comforts of the home - a small fragile fortress in a feral society. That too is happening and is heavily exploited by the same corporations which have strangled democracy.
Thirdly a minority will turn to violent or crazy actions to express their anger. That too is happening. The very fact that much of it is symbolic and not constructive, like Anonymous, is a sign of how frustrated the desire fro freedom is. For some a token resistance is better than nothing.

However as we face a decade of destroyed economics which is going to get a great deal worse than it is (read finance) people are going to get a lot more desperate and realistic. We already have a lot of starving children in the UK with food banks doling out junk food and also reporting they are swamped, unable to meet the needs. It's getting far harder to get bare welfare to survive, especially if you're disabled. People are routinely dying unnecessarily for lack of food, heating and healthcare.
Desperate people will indeed use hacking tools being developed now. But much more effectively.
I don't like it. I wish it wasn't necessary. But if a government makes war on its own people this is what happens.
