I really don't think this kind of behaviour helps anything. Though we may disagree with the actions of these corporations, using thousands of ordinary people's computers to flood sites many people use for things that have nothing to do with Julian Assange, Wikileaks or anything whatsoever linked to the cable leaks is simply wrong.
Being immoral in order to expose the immorality of others does nothing but muddy the waters. There are better ways of challenging these things while retaining your decency.

- singular 16y agoActually, I heard the bot computers were provided by volunteers. Regardless, the fact that the attacks affect those who have taken neither side, i.e. customers of the sites being targeting, I still feel the behaviour is immoral, not to mention the fact it makes it easy for the anti-wikileaks guys to denounce the argument for wikileaks as that of 'computer criminals', etc.
