[imc-uk-emergency] [feature] proposal on cyberactions/attacks

[Andrew Robertson]

Hello all.

I have some queries about the feature proposal on DDOS attacks. I am 
wandering whether there is concrete evidence that the new al-jazeera english 
site was attacked or is it maybe. Could it have been because of so many 
hits, or could it have been a technical problem at thee end. The point i 
guess if it isn't known for sure then it's a problem putting it up as a 
feature as it appears to be a maybe this happened.

The other objection is the link to a call for ddos attacks as anything in 
the middle column is an editorial control, therefore potentially making us 
liable.

That's my concerns

Cheers and respect

Andy
