That's insane. There's no way an individual student can possibly vet and approve every decision made by the school administration. If the U.S. president engages is an immoral action do I bear the guilt of his actions because I voted for him? Should I renounce my U.S. citizenship whenever my congress-critter misbehaves? Of course not. That is the worst thing I could do. I would be far more effective if I stuck around and campaigned against an immoral leader and tried to get a replacement elected. I imagine the point of this attack is to effect/inconvenience students so they complain to the MIT administration. The school bureaucracy won't listen to random strangers on the internet, but they will listen to students.

I imagine the point of this attack is to effect/inconvenience students so they complain to the MIT administration. If that's the objective, it's not a very well chosen one IMO. As I and others have posted elsewhere in this thread, MIT is already conducting an investigation, and I expect that students who are at all likely to complain to the administration already know about this and are already watching what happens, and will make their displeasure known if the appropriate action isn't taken once the investigation is complete. I doubt that this DDoS attack will have a significant effect on that. Plus, as has also been posted elsewhere in this thread, investigations take time. Is this DDoS attack going to continue until it's finished? How does that help? Or is the objective to get students to demand heads before all the facts are known? How does that help?
