Virtual Sit-in FoyerVirtual Sit-ins mobilize and empower netizens to participate in global electronic civil disobedience actions. Designed as a collectively actuated tactical information tool, Virtual Sit-ins invert the logic of wide open propaganda pipes by flooding network connections with millions of hits from widely distributed, fully participatory nodes. Virtual Sit-ins enable a performance of presence, which says to the selected target: we are numerous, alert, and watching carefully.
This Virtual Sit-in website does not cause computers to crash. The first Virtual Sit-in: On April 10,1998 FloodNet Tactical Version 1.0 was showcased during an Electronic Civil Disobedience action against Mexican President Zedillos web site. A Java applet reload function sent an automated reload request several times per minute to Zedillos page. Reports from participants and our observations confirmed that the more than 8,000 international participants in this first FloodNet action intermittently blocked access to the Zedillo site on that day. You must Turn JavaScript ON and Java ON while participating in this Virtual Sit-in. Although, this will allow possible JavaScript countermeasures that may be used by some targeted websites. |
