ABSTRACT
With respect to their norms and values, makers and hacktivists share many things in common. They both value most creativity and innovation, curiosity and individual autonomy and liberty. They also place great importance on having free and open access to and use of information and technology. But there are differences between them as well. While they both highly prize community development and social development, makers place greater emphasis on the former and hacktivists the latter. Makers are also more concerned about the values of openness and transparency, whereas hacktivists consider privacy and security to be of utmost importance.
