This study will examine how individuals and groups organise and engage with crowdsourced digital activism (CDA). In the study, we will conduct a qualitative analysis on the data collected and use the findings to develop a codebook which could be used in a quantitative, computational analysis of the data. This study will use data scraped from the public Telegram channel of an online group [name redacted]. This group was selected due to their recent high-profile Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks on Chat GPT, among other targets. This data will be analysed using content analysis. Given the different targets and tactics used by this group, this data will create a broader and more representative range of actions discussed within the text corpus in the research.
