BLOG POST: Hacktivism
Find Web pages that document an activity that Jordan & Taylor would describe as "hacktivism." (You might look for personal home pages, project pages, or news stories.) You can choose an example hacktivist project from the readings and research it online, or you can choose a cause that interests you and look for hacktivism efforts toward that cause. Provide the URLs to the pages that you found.
Then, critically assess the hacktivist project using ideas from Jordan & Taylor. The way you assess it will depend on the project you choose, but you might consider one or more of these questions: How is it analogous to (or different from) offline activism? How effective is it? Why is it "digitally correct" vs. "mass action"? Does it have an effect on law and policy?
