  In liberal discourse civil disobedience is often understood as a form of 
 protest that involves breaking the law but restricts itself to being exclu
 sively symbolic\, nonviolent and reformist. This understanding stands in t
 ension with a variety of practices of disobedience involving forms of disr
 uption and direct confrontation often classified as violent and aiming at 
 a more radical transformation of the existing system - while still claimin
 g to be civil. In this talk I will first problematize mainstream understan
 dings of the ‘civil’ in ‘civil disobedience’ and then turn to digital diso
 bedience as a set of practices that exemplifies the complex reality of dis
 obedience - a reality that raises a series of conceptual\, normative and p
 olitical challenges for thinking about digital disobedience as civil\, inc
 luding questions of anonymity\, public justification and political effecti
 vity.\n
