Hacktivists

Mark Milone gives us two different groups, activists and hacktivists, he states that the activists “utilize networked forms of organization, doctrine, and strategy to protect civil liberties and spread democratic values in cyberspace present an invaluable resource in securing these systems.” Means that the activists are giving an opportunity in the web for the internet users get their rights protected and practice democracy. However, hacktivists are discovered to “be provided with the appropriate incentives and protections to encourage coordination with government actors” (Milone, Mark. 2003. "Hacktivism: Security the National Infrastracture." Knowledge, Technology & POlicy. Spring 2003, 16 (1)., March 03, 2007). Activists work on campaigns on the purpose of providing human rights and democracy, where hacktivists work on the same purpose, but use the method of hackers. Hacktivists are able to have an access to the internal secret or codified information of the other countries; for example, it would be useful for Kyrgyzstan to know if any country has a nuclear bomb, which could be a danger for Central Asia, Middle East or some other countries, than hacktivists would useful for government with a good information. To my point of view it is profitable for any democratic government have cooperation with professional hacktivists, as well as hacktivists would have in contact with government more incentives to protection and encouragement. Of course, hacktivists can support democracy, but they by themselves break the human rights of declaration by entering others data or breaking the order of any program with the hacker program about democracy.
