Political hackers, like the infamous Anonymous collective, have
demonstrated their willingness to use political violence to further
their agendas. However, many of their causes - targeting terrorist
groups, fighting for LGBTQ+ rights, and protecting people's freedom
of expression, autonomy and privacy - are intuitively good things
to fight for. This book will create a new framework that argues
that when the state fails to protect people, hackers can intervene
and evaluates the hacking based on the political or social
circumstances. It highlights the space for hackers to operate as
legitimate actors; guides hacker activity by detailing what actions
are justified toward what end; outlines mechanisms to aid hackers
in reaching ethically justified decisions; and directs the
political community on how to react to these political hackers.
Applying this framework to the most pivotal hacking operations
within the last two decades, including the Arab Spring, police
brutality in the USA and the Nigerian and Ugandan governments'
announcements of homophobic legislation, it offers a unique
contribution to conceptualising hacking as a contemporary political
activity
