Infamous publishing and computer security group supports protests against state-sponsored censorship of the Internet.
LUBBOCK, TX (PRWEB) February 16, 2006 -- CULT OF THE DEAD COW, an impossibly attractive and talented group of computer enthusiasts, recently launched a targeted campaign to raise awareness around Internet censorship.
For the last decade, the cDc has been combating information rights abuses through its subset Hacktivismo, an international group of hackers, human rights workers, lawyers and artists. Their Hacktivismo Declaration http://hacktivismo.com/public/declarations/en.php outlines assertions of liberty in support of an uncensored Internet.
Oxblood Ruffin, Executive Director and Founder of Hacktivismo, states: “The real issue here is government, or rather, the absence of it. China has consistently been rewarded for bad behavior - by everyone. By the European Union, by America, Canada, Australia, the UK, ad nauseam. China has always demanded special treatment, and has gotten it. So it's not really a big surprise that we're having a "censorship" problem in China.”
The cDc’s Internet censorship campaign calls for quiet, firm, consistent, and respectful criticism of Chinese political policies.
