President Obama to 'appear' in virtual worlds
By Roderick Jones
The announcement that President Obama is scheduled to 'appear' in a number of virtual spaces tomorrow morning (details here) as part of a USC Annenberg initiative seems to reference previous discussions on denying virtual space to individuals. Would a griefing attack aimed at the President be a type of Virtual Assassination, a Denial of Service attack or both? Would the Secret Service investigates threats or attacks against the President in virtual space? Either way it neatly demonstrates how cyber conflict is an all encompassing paradigm shift rather than a monolithic battle.
