An online petition to make distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks a legalized form of free speech has been created on the whitehouse.gov website.
The creator of the petition believes DDoS is "not any form of hacking in any way" and is a legitimate form of protest with the advance of the Internet.
"It is the equivalent of repeatedly hitting the refresh button on a webpage. It is, in that way, no different than any 'occupy' protest," the petition reads.
"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."
