The sandboxing is part of the point, having a permissions model that puts the user in control of what programs are allowed to do is critical.

I haven't cited any laws or said what they did was wrong, just that the government doesn't like having its toys broken. Absolutely setting fire to a nazi train may be the morally correct thing to do, but you can still understand the nazis not being happy about it: these aren't mutually exclusive propositions.

I think the better question is 'Does what they did justify them being classed as terrorists' rather than 'Were they entrapped by government agents'.

Jet engines may react poorly with paint in the intakes. Those aircraft will need to be inspected and possibly repaired/maintained before they are allowed in the air again. That is sabotage.

It's not even really a Labour issue, support for Israel has been a long standing policy (partly because the UK was largely responsible for the creation of Israel back in the 1920s) and the motion to proscribe Palestine Action was broadly supported by every party. Regardless of the morality it was completely obvious and expected that breaking into a military base and damaging expensive aircraft was going to have consequences.

'Palestine Action' definitely refers to the group, otherwise you'd just put 'Palestine'. I don't think they did this to protest ant-terrorism laws, they've been very focused on targeting the genocide in Palestine so starting a new off-topic fight wouldn't make sense for them.

 

One of the things that Deus Ex captured really well was the pseudonymous federated internet; interactions between random strings on different networks that could go on and on without either party learning who they were speaking to. Alex Jacobson had no idea that the Oracle he was receiving messages from was actually a self aware AI on the net.
