WikiLeaks

Wikileaks has caused controversy between many governments, especially in the United States. Wikileaks is known as the giant library where the world's most persecuted documents are exposed. I would assume the governments were alarmed at the type of content that was published since they tend to retain certain information from the public and the world in general. Another article that I read mentioned that Wikileaks brings to light documents that focus on alleged US government misbehavior. For example, issues like hidden war crimes or prisoner abuse. That is where the Hacktivist response comes to play. So, this is when people use digital technology to disrupt organizations, such as Wikileaks, that the social movement opposes. Also, another aspect of this response is that it distributes denial of service that floods a specific server with requests, eventually weakening that website. I do not think there should be limits on internet free speech because either way, people would figure out a wiser manner of voicing their thoughts and beliefs.
