That’s right, the World Wide Web War 1 has started.
For those of you who are not aware, last week, a leaked Scientology indoctrination video has been leaked on You Tube, the cult of Scientology contacted You Tube to ask them to remove the video from the website, claiming it was a copyright infringement. Also, several news stories related to that video has been removed from digg. If you want to see the video, Gawker still has a version live.
This incident fired rage from a bunch of hackers, well hacker is quite big word, let’s just say script kiddies. A group who call themselves “anonymous” (FEAR THEM) posted this video on You Tube. The group threatens to bring Scientology’s online presence down for their years of lies.
Over the past weak, several Scientology websites has been victim of DDoS attacks, which brought them down.
What’s interesting in that story, the enormous proportion this story is taking, the story made the news, several websites reported the attacks. It’s big!
Brings me to think talk about the power users have online. This fired the rage of a bunch of users and the reacted! Companies/Individuals have to be very about how they act online, because it is still relatively easy for users to show their dissatisfaction.
It is so hard today for people to raise speach and talk about those events on traditional medias, that’s why the internet is so fun! The space is not yet sold to big corporation, it is not yet moderated and let’s just hope it stays that way!
