..Learn to read network topologies as political control structures, seeing how corporations and governments shape and control the way we use
computer networks.

..the relationship between power and control over networks and the enclosing of subjectivities and
affects.

“network politics” became a wider popular media phenomenon too,
where old media started to focus on what is was able to brand as “twitter-revolutions, or facebook-revolutions”

Biopolitics of network culture, or in other words, the various practices
which form internet cultures – hence a step outside of the technological
focus, to look at what practices define network politics..
![Page 8: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
we were interested too in the metaquestion: what form would
investigating network politics have to take?
![Page 9: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
what kinds of forms of politics there are out there that are not even
recognized as politics? From artistic practices to the grey work of
engineers..

Given the context of a capitalist society and economy it is this
techno-capitalist framework within which the potential for digital
communications must be understood.

' ideology of healthy paranoia ' (' templates for suspicion ')

Network politics: artivism, hacktivism and social networking
Activism: political activismHacking: technological activism Artivism: artistic activism.
![Page 13: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Does Hactivism matters ?
![Page 14: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
We want to know if hacktivism matters
Hacktivism = any kind of political activism that is performed by hacking Not: digital activism in blogs etc.
Matters = has any impact outside the hacker movement itselfe.g. politics, society, law ..
![Page 15: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
what digital activism can mean ?
![Page 16: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Computer Crime Law-Making
![Page 17: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Law on hacktivism
To keep hacking, one author concluded, they had to hack the law
by finding ways for legal hacking.
![Page 18: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
So, the impact of hacktivism is not part of a rational debate, but of a
more complex strategic situation in which rational arguments only play a
minor role.

..and now the Law..

Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA)
![Page 22: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What is ACTA?
![Page 23: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Thinks you need to know about ACTAFacts:
1. ACTA isn't the “European” SOPA. It's nearly GLOBAL and will apply to every country that signs the treaty.
2. ACTA is far more aggressive. Acta will not simply affect websites and have them blocked out of the internet – it measures go as far as surveillance of anything you share through private channels.
3. ACTA doesn't have a campaign against if that is as wide-spread and organized as the SOPA one. This is DANGEROUS, as there's less time between now and the final signing of ACTA.
4. ACTA has effects on healthcare, trade, and even tourism.
5. ACTA has to be STOPED.
Let's start spreading the world and organazing a good, solid response to it.

for over two years the ACTA agreement got negotiated secretly.
Nobody asked us about our opinion, but its negative effects will hurt us
all.

..will stifle free speech, innovation and undermine Internet security.

ACTA threatens free software

How can you act against ACTA?
![Page 33: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

First inform your social network about the impending consequences of ACTA. Talk about it on weekly
meetings, at work or at school, write about it on Twitter or Facebook, via
telephone, texts, e-mails or snail mail, you may even shout it out loud - and sign the e-petition. Every voice
counts!

We demand the stop of ACTA ?
So do it yourself.
Please go to the street and do your part to sink ACTA.

so..
![Page 37: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
We can think ethics and politics of digital activism as a critical artistic theory in a techno-political sense ..
Net Art → Network Art
![Page 38: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The exploit to be the most desirable form of exposure.
![Page 39: Thinking network politics](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042901/568c37071a28ab02359a3ef4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Our artistic strength still remains in misusing, disrespecting, hacking
and cracking protocols, for we are, hopefully, not yet bots following a
technological template or legal policy. We are the composers of all the possible network topologies.
