We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists - Trailer

Yogisays...

I'm interested in this documentary, but the trailer seems to bring about a tone of "We're the Fucking Greatest!"

It reminded me of a report I read about US students testing in Math being the worst comparative to the rest of the world...but our confidence being higher than everyone elses. That's what this already seems to me like these are a bunch of people quite skilled but with rather inflated ideas about who they are and how they effect the world. The Arab Spring comment REALLY makes me question how this group sees itself, because I'm pretty sure the people who were protesting and dying don't see it the same way.

So I'm approaching this VERY skeptically and I think they'd actually appreciate that.

Jinxsays...

Oh hi Internet Generation.

You know, it doesn't seem especially surprising that when you can communicate so freely with strangers across the globe then freedom of speech and expression become pretty fucking important to you. Technology has changed us, its even changed how we protest. Occupy Wallstreet? More like Occupy Server with millions of connection requests.

I don't especially like the image Anon as made for themselves, but whether you identify as an Anon or not you probably still are in a sense. My name is Legion: for we are many.
