petitions.whitehouse.gov recently was in the news with a petition that was filed to deport Piers Morgan received over 100,000 signatures..
On 1/1/0/13 another interesting one showed up, purportedly posted by Anonymous petitioning The United States Government to allow DDoS to be considered a legal form or protest.
"WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Make, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), a legal form of protesting.
With the advance in internet techonology, comes new grounds for protesting. Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), is not any form of hacking in any way. It is the equivalent of repeatedly hitting the refresh button on a webpage. It is, in that way, no different than any "occupy" protest. Instead of a group of people standing outside a building to occupy the area, they are having their computer occupy a website to slow (or deny) service of that particular website for a short time.
As part of this petition, those who have been jailed for DDoS should be immediatly released and have anything regarding a DDoS, that is on their "records", cleared."
Yes, "technology" and "immediately" are spelled incorrectly in the petition, but I'm the last one that should be pointing out that sort of thing. The real point is that 1679 folks have signed it in the last 24 hours.
