DIRECT CYBER ACTIVISM.

This is the situation where people can be able to use the internet or network to promote , project the use of technology and cause the changes through movement so as lead to revolutions by using internet. Or, its a collective action in cyberspace that addressed network infrastructure or exploits the infrastructure"technical network features for political movement or social network.

Example cyber activism include electronic disturbance tactics and online civil disobedience, self institution, organization autonomous creation of infrastructure, software and hardware harking and hacktivist.
Direct cyber activism can be conducted through various ways like ;

> internet sit in; this is where some people can be able to sit down at a particular place whether in the office or in the house and start to deal with network system by hack and post bad picture, sound or any documents that targeted to destroy or build good image without he or she willingness or permission from the owner of that network address. Example in 2009 the first lady at that time mama Salma Kikwete her account was attracted with hackers and disturbed for some hours before her technician discovered that illegal business towards her internet. That is internet sit in.

> cyber terrorism; these are those people who are more knowledgeable, skills and experience based on hacking various internet internationally. This also can be use to creates fear to other part and do whatever they want through terrorist ways. Example German ware complain about the issues of United States of America that were used his cyber terrorists to attack the whole system through online system. It reach a time where German as a Great state in Europe discovered that issues and create a bad diplomatic relationships between these two NATIONS.

Because the way United State of America use virus to computer and spread them through internet that caused in economic losses. Hackers were used for the purpose of politics or economical target and yet Government investments in cyber-defenses measures are increasing. Up to date hacktivist is the province of individuals and underground cadres of actor. While direct cyber-activism at the level of net public access points is a enviable quasi-legal from of activism, how the use of illegal hacktivist by social movements may unfold is yet to be seen.

Its true that through extensive viruses and cracking websites that corporate and state networks and even the internet in general could be collapsed, with-profoundly catastrophic results- consider that vital global transportation, health care , energy, and food distribution networking now depend increasingly on internet meditations. A net collapse of even several days would be disastrous. The targeted infiltration of intranets is perhaps more plausible. With the number of activists online continuing to increase , incidents of  various types of direct cyber activism can be expected to grow in number and scale. THAT IS ALL ABOUT CYBER ACTIVISM.
