Just thought this was interesting. Not passing judgement one way or the other, just interesting...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(group)

Although decentralized, these guys are no lightweights, being credited with such things as:

1) Shutting down several .gov.uk sights in response to "draconian surveillance policies"
2) Shutting down the Westboro Baptist Church website, twitter, FB, and changed the WBC desktop backgrounds to gay porn, and released an entire list of WBC's members, including SSNs
3) Shutting down several ugandan government sites in response to systematic genocide of homosexuals
3) Shutting down several syrian government sites
4) Shutting down the DOJ and FBI websites
5) Supposedly helped track down, shut down, and arrest operators of several kiddy porn sites
6) Credited with helping to circumvent gov censorship in Iran, N Korea, China, Libya, and Syria

Just to name some of the highlights.


Apparently we have computer hackers on our side?

I think the longer version provides a bit more context to their message.

Other than that, they do celebrate personal freedoms, I guess.  I would question it's authenticity but if they probably would have shut it down by now.


They freak me out in any case.  :D

lneuke:
It's definitely better to have them on your side...

gsd:
Given their far reaching capabilities, it is definitely better to know their standing.

Chris C:
I’ve seen saying for a few weeks now to friends just watch anonymous will get involved with this whole ordeal.  Glad they are.
