I adore how people have so little understanding of the way the internet works that they think Anon is going to actually shut down the internet, cut itself off from other members, or this is some sort of message that would hurt them as much as anyone else and is not going for its intended targets IE bankers and corrupt government.
Basically what is being proposed is to make it so as the average slack jawed yokel playing on an iphone or their laptop goes to try to use the internet and they will see that it does not work and in order to get it to work goes beyond the ability of even above average(albeit just above average) computer users.
This represents the widest berth of internet users, and Thats how you target the government and bankers and copy write lobbyists and others. You get the largest bulk of people on the internet pissed off, so they will get off their lazy asses and do something about all this nonsense. In essence what Anon is trying to do is be the Morpheus for the world of the matrix we live in. The only problem with this ideology is that if people are too thick to know how to work around HTTP protocols, and they are too lazy to be bothered with fixing the problems the internet faces, then a large portion of the people who get pissed off at this will end up being wrongly pissed at Anon, instead of being pissed at the fuckers causing the problems that prompted Anon to do something about it, especially as soon as the media spin doctors get a hold of it and turn it into a terroristic threat to destroy the Uhmerukun way of life. Its a noble intention that would be doomed to backfire.
Now, with all that said, I tend to doubt it. This is not the first time this has been brought up. Also "anonymous" claimed (as in some random person claimed) that Anon would be shutting down Facebook on the 5th of November, and I am still waiting for that one to go down. I think it would be cool, it wont work, and Ill believe it when I see it.
