Abstract
Deflect has been at the forefront protecting human rights and independent media organizations from Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks. We will give a brief history of DDoS, from digital civil disobedience, to inter-state aggression, retaliatory hacker operations, and online censorship. Leaning on real-life cases we will describe the problems posed to civil society by DDoS actions today. We will involve the audience to share their experience of DDoS and propose community driven solutions.
