Is this hacktivism?

[: hacktivism :]

Of course the mainstream media focus on the credit card theft; seems
familiar from somewhere... Bad.
But they DID get a lot of attention and may yet annoy the big boys in Davos
enough to make up for the lack of a decent protest outside. The physical
barriers may have stopped people, but on the Net there are no national
jurisdictions and border guards... If only they would use the cc's to pay off third
world debt! Gates should have enough money on his card to free half of Africa
from the financial shackles we have put it in ;-)

What am I talking about?
