"Is DDoSsing ethical?", is the wrong question IMO. "Am I prepared to be arrested for a DDoS in support of my beliefs?" is more practical.
@OxbloodRuffin exactly. just as you might be arrested for physical protest action that causes damage or inconvenience.

@BernardKeane Plenty of Western academics are arguing DDoS as a contextual ethical positive. But they avoid speaking about the law. -
@OxbloodRuffin if you want to break the law in protest, you have to accept the legal consequences. there's a long honourable history of that -
@BernardKeane Agreed. That is the principle notion of civil disobedience: protest; be arrested; clog the system; have ones day in court. -
@OxbloodRuffin and morally addresses the problem that if you think a cause warrants lawbreaking, you can't complain if yr opponent does too - End of conversation
