Chapter 6

Download the complete chapter (PDF)
After reflecting on the themes that unite the dissertation, the conclusion considers how the post 9/11 political climate has heightened the pressure to erroneously treat hacktivism as cyberterrorism. The author hopes that the rising fortunes of political coding, which is increasingly legitimated by both governments and businesses, will ensure a continued space for hacktivism within the repertoire of political contention.
