As mentioned throughout the interview with Ricardo Dominguez, the Electronic Disturbance Theater is a group of cyber activists who use electronic civil disobedience to non-violently take action against political powers. On this site, a part of thing.net, there are brief descriptions of the Electronic Disturbance Theater and electronic civil disobedience. There is also information surrounding the EDT's influences, beliefs and methods of electronic civil disobedience. Many of the brief descriptions are accompanied with links to larger, more in-depth articles as well. Wray, Stefan. thing.net, "The Electronic Disturbance Theater and Electronic Civil Disobedience."

Here is another article dealing with the questions I posed in my last post. This one is by Bruce Schneier, who, if I am correct, is a friend and colleague of Bruce Sterling. Schneier seems to be an expert on digital security and he goes over a lot of interesting points regarding security with the internet of things. Schneier, Bruce.

I wonder what opportunities for "electronic civil disobedience" might be uncovered in the IoT landscape?
