Abstract

This paper discusses the relationship between cyberactivism and hacker culture. It seeks to evince the influence of American counterculture in the building up of hacktivism. It shows the connection between the collaborative endeavors for developing free software and hacker thinking, which preaches power distribution and empowerment of people through access to information. It describes the theoretical approaches that expound the increasing relevance of protocols, codes and software as social communication key intermediates. As a conclusion, it portrays a collaborative individualism that has emerged from the hacker socialization, and which is based on sharing ideas and individual empowerment through knowledge.
