Yes he would and as I said before when Anon started their attacks, I would withhold judgement until I had seen what they end up doing and I think I will put my chips in with Anon. They are the Nuke the internet needed and they ARE using that power responably, not doing wildcard attacks but doing strategic attacks with clear reasons for it. They have matured and are doing a fine job of equiling the playing field.HankMan said:
AAs I said before, they woke a sleeping beast and now they get a angry Anon to deal with.
So, assuming your premise is actually true, why would...Baldr said:
"Dr. Alex Karp, the Co-Founder and CEO of Palantir Technologies, one of three data intelligence firms who worked to develop a systematic plan of attack against WikiLeaks and their supporters, has severed all ties with HBGary Federal and issued an apology to reporter Glenn Greenwald."
do that?

Yeah, the stereotype of "anon" is usually seen as basement dwelling social outcast with disturbed mind and sick fetish. Also the public media Anonymous isnt really that big, no. They have less "members" and are more stable than the usual anon. Though their size and potential shouldnt be belittled, as that might come back and bite you in the ass.Generic Gamer said:
I could use the egypt as an example, but they really werent anonymous as they where all labelled as egyptians and that basicly cleaned off the stereotype of anonymous. But the basic idea was the same as how Anonymous operates. Post an idea on the net, get lucky ,let the movement rise and work a plan to reach your goal. The goverment was confused and went in panic as they couldnt locate the leader of this uprise or label and divide these people into sub-section as they presented people from all paths of life, religion, age, job etc. you name it.
Whoo boy... The thing about anon being everybody and "humanities darkside" is based on the fact that "they" share the same anatomy and psychology as "normal" human beings and that, that they come from all paths and steps of life with different backgrounds and upbrings. It also bases on the fact that people try to label anonymous as a person of a stereotype, and that of course is just wrong. They "study & test" human psychology thru trolling and memes as did Nazi doctors using poisons and pointy things on people during Hitler's reign. So far it seems that you shouldnt feed the trolls. Hmm..Im getting detrailed...
Anywaaayys, they represent a several large cross sections of society, that nobody wants to admit being part of.
Right in the kisser. *grins* The tide is, indeed, swinging now. I find it intriguing, however, that in both IRL/interwebz, it seems the mass populace is facing off against the big corps and governments nearly everywhere in the world now. Mmm~ the speculations. :3
Anoymous are certainly here to stay, what they did to that guy at HB Gary is nothing less than what his colleagues warned him about.
I think the internet is now allowing the money giants' corruptions to finally be exposed. Anon is a portent of a better world.
This is history in the making, I can't wait to see the ending. I'm rooting for anonymous because they are the lesser evil but I think they have a better chance of winning, wiht with the unstoppable amount of users
I used to hate 4chan unconditionally, but recently Anonymous has earned my grudging respect. Perhaps they finally realized the actual amount of power they wield and decided upon a new spider man paradigm.
So, we shouldn't be criticising /b/ for fear of Anon reprisals? Isn't that using similar tactics to the people they're "bringing down"?Communist partisan said:
Yeah, good on Anonymous for fighting to preserve freedom of speech, unless you piss them off...
To call Anon heroes, you have to call them villains too. Having a monster taking down those you don't like is great, but if that monster has no loyalties, or is just doing it for a laugh, what's to stop it from targeting you?
Yes, helping to expose corruption and bringing down the corrupt is a good thing but that doesn't make Anonymous a group of white hats.
Besides the fact that one does not need to forge 60,000 electronic documents in order to spoof the info found in them (ever heard of Search-and-Replace?), Anonymous' "modus operandi" is to troll for the lulz. If they could get the FBI to rely, in its investigation of Anons, on information provided by Anons, that would be hilarious.
And sorry, but when an email leak is provided by the very group whose members the FBI is investigating, it WOULD be lulzworthy to presume any or all of the leak were accurate. Especially when the leaked info is purportedly ABOUT the group's members.
Seriously, Tito, if you're going to pick one side and spin for it, try not to be quite so obvious.
Dude, Anon is like Yoda. At first them seem like weary little things barely able to move under their own power and the next they are leaping around like a frog on meth. Its all image, they want you to know as much about them as they want you to know. Always pays to keep a few secrets in reserve for such a surprise.flaming_squirrel said:
Kudos to Anon for revealing Bank of America's consipiracy to commit (what every civillised country would/have call) a terrorist attack. That being said, since they are a wealthy cabal, they will be able to buy their freedom quite easily.

Never said they'r good guys but I clearly think they yust wanna make everybody be free and that works for me, I got no need to criticize /b/ and I'm not afraid of them but if you wanna fight them yust remember to bring a gun to a knife-fight and don't use a expensive computer.
Also, why piss something of that's good for you?
And who does acculy trust anon? I don't but I still support'em until they win the war of the net and kick everybody out exept them selfs making the internet their private domain.
