Anonymous announces its plan to destroy facebook

[JWAN]

If what Anonymous has said is true, I hope that they succeed in bringing facebook down.
Sure, it is a helpful social forum, but at what cost?

I'd gladly lose my account to protect my information.

Well you agreed to put your information up and to allow them to use it in every way they described in their terms and conditions so I really dont see what anon is trying to prove other than they can irritate a bunch of people can cause a lot of other website devs to lose money therefore liquidate their fanbase and shoot themselves in the foot.

Wake up and smell the roses. The apps are as unsecure as hell so thats one big exploit they can use just like anybody else who wants your data which facebook stores, even that of closed accounts. It apparently sells on your personal info. Anon doesn't like this, neither do i. Im all for shutting this big bloated POS down for good. If you dont agree, sit back and enjoy people you hate so much fighting for your internet freedom. They will fight for it whether you support them or not.

Come on Anon! Use you're powers for good and take out ED or Topix!

ED doesn't exist anymore, the asshole who ran it turned it into a SFW website so he (or she?) could sell it off.

Thats not what im seeing. I clicked random page and got a massive picture of a penis. Then of a demotivational picture for "raep" with an included picture that was just lovely... so no. NOT safe for work.

OT:
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.

Yea, apparently it's back up now. The SFW website it was before is (was?) called ohinternet but I'm glad that it's back, I check periodically to get up to date on drama.

For my internet freedom? okay, internet freedom... Where is my freedom to be able to sign up to a website and share my personal information without having to worry about some self righteous hacker group taking it down because they prefer to be anonymous and thus they want to force everyone else into being just that? Where is my freedom to chose how much of my personal information I can share on the internet?

Your not fighting for my freedom. In fact, this whole campaign (if it is true which I honestly doubt) is fighting for the exact opposite of my freedom.

As for personal information... I don't care. I honestly don't. That info more than likely goes to advertisers as part of market research or in order to specify what ads pop up on the facebook page. Big deal, I'm okay with that. I'm okay with anything else they're doing with it. If someone isn't okay with it then, don't sign up. I'm not going to give you shit for it, you don't feel secure with the service or you prefer to be anonymous then go for it... That's your choice, you made it, you enjoy it... I chose not to, I understand the choice I made and the risks it involves, I'm okay with that, leave me be.

See that's freedom, the freedom to make a choice. When you start to take that choice away, your taking away the freedom of others.

It makes sense. Anonymous values privacy. Mark Zuckerberg specifically philosophically opposes privacy.

But you can choose not to be on Facebook. It makes sense but also it doesn't. Anyone on Facebook accepts what Facebook is so why punish people for doing what they like? I'm not keen on Facebook personally but I would hate to see it get taken down for some pointless reason

Most people who use Facebook actually aren't aware of Zuckerberg's philosophical stances. They aren't aware that one of the reasons the company was created is to break down privacy, a concept which Zuckerberg considers antiquated in the modern world.

They are not punishing users. They are punishing the site. Personally, I don't care much for privacy and am fine with Facebook. People who love privacy and understand Facebook are going to hate it though.

Well, while I have almost no confidence in Anonymous, if they actually pull it off, it'll be an entertaining day for me because everybody will go bat-shit insane over it. I'm sick enough of Facebook, but watching the people who spend their entire day on it freak the hell out because they can't sign in will be just fantastic.

 

[Okysho]

now we'll get to see if that 30 000 worldwide suicide statistic is true

 

[Matt East]

Odd, I just got hit with a security check while using chat.
Hardly proof that shit is going down, but still.

Well in no way am I supporting them, but inherently they aren't bad people who I won't judge because only someone with all the information has the right to judge. They generally do have some God complex where they think they have the right to make decisions affecting other people without hearing their side. But I wouldn't call them bullies or bad people, just wrong. Oh and you misunderstood the "The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011," they were fairly, non-douchely PROTESTING this. Not because they're pedophiles, but because it gives the government the LEGAL RIGHT to see what your doing on your computer ALL THE TIME AT ANY TIME. The help that only has a CHANCE of happening with that act will completely destroy everyone's privacy, which is what anonymous is all about.
