Anonymous announces its plan to destroy facebook

[TheHighDino]

No Anonymous! Nooo! Facebook is cool... Take down Google + or Twitter... Just not Facebook..

OP's link claims that Anonymous was behind the PSN going down, which everyone knows it was not.

The robot guy in the video has a point. Zuckerberg has 750 million people by the balls.

 

[Synyster]

Have they nothing better to do? That's all I can really think when I read about these folks.

No we really don't

I feel like a huge hipster for knowing why that is their date

Um, no, you're just one of millions of people who watched a movie.

Remember, remember, the fifth of April. Or something.

Why can't they take down pro-ana sites or something, the security is low and unprofessional and it would do a lot more good. Plus, they're depressingly easy to find.
OR, take down a site that's racist like the KKK site (I think there's one) or a homophobic site.
I keep thinking of the good they can do, but they're choosing facebook :/

because those sites have nothing to do with their cause of protecting the freedom of speech and privacy.

Why does everyone want facebook dead... i dont like it, others do. Let them have it. Why does everyone CARE SO FUCKING MUCH what other people like to the point where they actively encourage it to be destroyed. Are you fucking two? What the hell is this shit. This is justin beiber/ any pop culture icon hate hipster bullcrap. "U NO LIKE WHAT I LIKE BURN BURN BURN OMFG HE DOESNT LIKE WHAT I LIKE"

Grow up. You sound infantile.

The difference is that i can easily ignore Justin Bieber. (well, at least until i clicked the red button.) i dislike facebook, but i can't ignore it because it's the only site offering the service i'm looking for: access to my friends. i'd love to switch over to google+, because i think it's better designed, but until it has a userbase that can compete with facebook it's not going to fulfill that desire. and as long as facebook has that monopoly over social networking, they have no real incentive to make decisions in the interest of their users rather than their bottom line.

Well, the only reason I joined Facebook was so I could comment on this site for stuff like ExtraCredits. Anonymous, good luck.

That's changed now. I stopped commenting on everything because if you use Facebook, it's a way for MZ to track you and sell that information, or use it to blackmail you for access to your poodle's back end, or whatever.

However, now when you click the Comments, you are taken to the appropriate forum post for that episode.
Thanks for changing that back Escapist!

Well, this will certainly be exciting if this attack will be on the same scale as the PSN outage

Awwww. Remember, remember the 5th of November. Gunpowder, treason and plot. I can not reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.

I remember the gunpowder plot, it was a bunch of terrorists who thought the best way of dealing with people they didn't like would be to murder them by blowing a building up that would probably have contained a bunch of innocent people that would have been killed in the process.

Though I also remember he failed, got arrested, executed and in my Country we throw him on a bonfire every 5th of November for the troubles.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Anonymous is hilarious because its is anyone anywhere. I really hope they do this though. Facebook is evil.

 

[Tiny116]

and here we go again >.>

About the only decent thing I've ever heard of Anon doing was tracking down those bastards that threw the puppies into the river last year.

 

[imnot]

Meh, Facebook anoys me so Im really noy fussed if they do succeed, In fact I hoep they take it down for a week or so, just to see peoples reactions >

 

[Stilkon]

Looks faked to me. Original video was posted on 16th of July, not a word anywhere else on the net about it. Guess we'll see.

That and it claims Anonymous were responsible for the PSN outage, which it wasn't. On top of the article being six lines long, I'd say this is less than convincing.

I thought it was just to do with Guy Fawkes.... and you know... Anonymous wear Guy Fawkes masks..?

 

[franconbean]

I hate Anonymous nothing more then a bunch of internet bullies and scum.

...You hate an undefined group of people, pursuing freedom of information?
There are anons doing good stuff; these aren't one of them.

The Thing is, where does the freedom of information end and the invasion of privacy begin?

I know you say that anon value privacy...

Oh, and its still funny to see that the media hasn't quite got to grips with the fact that anon is not a single unified agenda...

 

[SammiYin]

All I can think listening to this is Arby and the Chief. Hilarious
I don't give a shit about these people. All I got to say

Guess who the terrorist was.... The 5th of November in this country is celebrated as either Bonfire night or Guy Fawkes day. We have a fire work display (sort of like 4th of July) and a big bonfire. Celebrating the fact that we found this guy before he killed a bunch of people both innocents caught in the collateral damage and the fellows (puritans I believe) who he didn't agree with. Actually look up Guy Fawkes, he wasn't that nice of a guy nor did he do many of his actions in the name of freedom...
