The US Department of Justice website just got hacked.

And a major US media outlets gives it 1/4 page coverage.

We are at a tipping point.

While the US media spends 99% of its energy covering the debate over the intricacies of our right to bear arms intended as a defense against a tyrannical government, we’re now heading into open cyber warfare between the same government and it’s citizens in the digital space.

Back when I was doing seminars with university faculty on the urgency of teaching digital media literacy in the classroom, I referenced a lot of the work Don Tapscott was doing with digital natives vs digital immigrants, the term coined to explain how a concept core to our society is now understood greater by our children (those regulated) than ourselves (those regulating). 

The digital divide that separates our gov from its people has widened to a point where ignorance of a core aspect of our society can no longer be ignored.  The response to evolving definitions of copyright and tax-funded research should not suppression, but open dialog and conversation.
