________________________________________________________________________________ -::::- 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. -::::- To join this e-mail list simply send a message to: hacktivism-request@lists.tao.ca with subscribe in the (plain text) message body.
