Traditional protesting, sending a letter, waving a banner, throwing an egg, occupying a building of the enemy is also suffering under the new media: hacking the websites of CNN has been the latest tools of the pro-China protesters, writes Shanghaiist nin its latest update on the anti-CNN actions by supposedly Chinese hackers.
This is of course much easier than in what sometimes is called the good old days. Then you had to print your own leaflets, identify a friendly audience that was willing to take your leaflets and then actually go out on the streets to hand them out, one-by-one.
At least the Chinese hackers, who have been practicing a lot, have at least a non-violent tool that attracts a lot of attention. And they can just have a cup of tea or a beer while doing their jobs.
