Abstract

What motivates the behavior of Anonymous and Hacktivists? Why did Edward Snowden denounce the mass surveillance plans of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) of the United States? Under what convictions did Julian Assange create WikiLeaks? Indeed, the following article - based on the second chapter of my dissertation Hacker culture as a philosophy of life in the era of cyber capitalism. An approach to the case in Mendoza - seeks to give answers to these questions. To answer them, it is necessary to understand the values, ethics and actions that give life to the hacker culture, both internationally and in the province of Mendoza.
