The Electronic Disturbance Theater and Electronic Civil Disobedience

The Electronic Disturbance Theater (EDT) is a group of cyber activists developing Electronic Civil Disobedience (ECD) tactics, which adapt traditional protest methods like blockades and sit-ins to the internet through tools like Flood Net software. The group has primarily targeted Mexican and U.S. government websites to draw attention to the conflict with the Zapatistas in Mexico, demonstrating how internet-based activism enables geographically dispersed participants to conduct simultaneous virtual protests against distant opponents.
