Editing Hacktivismo (section)

== Connection to cDc ==
In 1999 Cult of the Dead Cow (cDc), a loose network of individuals, announced the formation of Hacktivismo. The group set to explore ways of preventing censorship of the Internet. In particular Hacktivismo focused on firewalls or censoring mechanisms of national governments. Press releases made it clear that cDc and Hacktivismo were different groups; however Hacktivismo was also described as "special operations group" of cDc. A press release in early 2002 described Hacktivismo as "an international cadre of hackers founded by the cDc's [[Oxblood Ruffin]]".<ref>{{cite book |title=Hacktivism and Cyberwars |last=Jordan |first=Tim |author2=Paul A.
