How the US Government took control of the Internet - The Hacker Crackdown - The Hated One The Hacker Crackdown - an 18-month long collaborative effort of the United States Secret Service and broken-up AT&T to take control of the Internet in the early 1990s. They stroke right at the heart of what makes the Internet such a powerful tool - the hacker culture. Hackers were people who believed access to the Internet and computer technology should be as free and open as possible. They believed cyberspace was a not place for governments to censor and monitor. It was not a place for corporations to control and manipulate. For hackers, cyberspace was a new frontier that would free the mind and open endless opportunities. The Hacker Crackdown was the United States government ideological dirty war to take control of the digital realm. This is a story of people, for whom cyberspace was a war zone. Government surveillance. Corporate censorship. Media manipulation. This is the reality of the Internet today. Bit by bit, multi-billion-dollar corporations are taking control of what we can do, see, and say on the cyberspace. We can-t make comments on social media, chat with people, or browse the web, without the government somewhere taking a copy in a rogue database dully paid for by us. It-s almost as if there was a waging war for this huge digital space that was once dreamed of as setting people free. A frontier where everybody could unleash their potential. A true equality of opportunities. And it seems governments and big corporations hate this empowerment of the little ones. They despise it so much they work hand-in-hand to attack with full force in order to deny us any expansion of Constitutional rights into the digital realm. And it all started at the dawn of the commercial Internet with a drastic crackdown on their most feared opposition: hackers. The Hacker Crackdown of 1990 set a precedent for much of what is happening today. I make these videos because I believe standing up against power and illegitimate authority is a moral duty. I believe all humans are fundamentally free. But this freedom won't take care of itself.

That raid of Steve Jackson games back in the early 1990's sounds like a comedy sketch almost. I'm not sure whether the Secret Service literally didn't understand that the company makes fictional GAMES. Or if perhaps they thought the development of pen and paper RPGs like GURPS was just a 'front' or 'cover' for a criminal organization of some sort. What is it with tabletop RPGs and uptight, clueless authority figures? If the kids aren't learning witchcraft and satanism from playing D&D, they're learning to hack your bank account in GURPS or something. Maybe they're not even that different, as both are seen by the clueless as being essentially 'magic'.

-To think what the Stasi went through to spy on us. Even they couldn't dream of a world in which citizens voluntarily carried tracking devices, conducted self-surveillance and reported on themselves, morning, noon and night. -

If the law enforcement used as much effort as they used to capture hackers, to capture criminals and corrupt politicians, our streets would be wiped clean and corruption would seize to exist, but it-s not in the interest of the government nor the law enforcement.

What a load of sensationalist distorted twaddle. Anyone interested in the history and beginnings of the Internet would do well to ignore this rubbish and read up themselves, there are many excellent books on the subject.

1, you get a job, 2, you save as much as you can, 3, you invest, 4, you use that money to support activist hackers, 5, you learn to code, and hack, 6, with money, code, hardware and others, hack the planet.

This comment section is as biased as the people who always side with authority, fry guy stole from random average people but he's -the good guy- just because the government didn't like him.
