We believe that privacy and access to information are basic human rights. Hacktivismo assumes as an ethical point of departure the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights. We also support the Free Software and open-source movements.

We also intend to have fun doing this. Turn it up. Way up.

If we were Black hats we wouldn't need spin doctors, we'd need criminal attorneys. The cDc and Hacktivismo aren't to everyone's taste. But attempting to vilify us because we defy simple categories is judgmental at best, and irresponsible at worst.

Profitable. We created the Hacktivismo Declaration then we created the HESSLA in the spirit of these documents: * International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights * Universal Declaration of Human Rights (top) ...::::::::... ::::: team ::::: ```::::::::''' Oxblood Ruffin | Executive Director and Founder The Mixter | Lederhosen Enthusiast and Charter Member MiB | Spiritual Dissident init0 | Hacktivismo Hall of Fame (top) ...:::::::::::::::::::::... ::::: board of advisors ::::: ```:::::::::::::::::::::''' Partick Ball, Ph.D Patrick is Deputy Director, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Science and Human Rights Program.
