Anonymous Files Petition To Make DDoS Legal Form of Protest

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 wanted to mod you funny, but you're already +5. That's a funny funny story (and not at all insightful or informative.)

You either have no clue, or are just spreading agitprop (or conceivably both).
