Online activists shouldn't be boasting about their DDOS attacks on Iran
- zcrar70 17y agoInterestingly, I've been having a similar discussion with someone here at HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=658355 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=658355 I agree with the author that it isn't acceptable to launch DDoS attacks on Iranian state sites, and then complain about the Chinese doing the same on US government sites.
- DougBTX 17y agoThe difference is whether the aggressor is Us or Them. The argument is whether that distinction is important.
- electromagnetic 17y agoGreat, all international politics needs is more ignorant Americans pushing peoples buttons. We had enough of ignorance with Bush, it caused enough problems for international politics and now some 'activists' are carrying on this ignorance ten-fold by actually going out of their way to antagonize another state. These 'activists' actions will only give more credence to any Iranian propaganda, in fact I'm sure it'll allow the Iranian state to make up more propaganda that the US is attacking their internet infrastructure.
