the great internet civil war of 2011.

Awesome XD

fun to see a bunch of hackers with too much time on their hands turn on themselves and make it public at the same time. makes for an entertaining read.

I wonder if we could somehow set this up to be like on of those ancient gladiator battles, complete with the Coliseum if Rome will rent it out.

change "800,000 hijacked computer botnet" to "800,000 hijacked killer mechs", and this fight could get really interesting

I laughed so much when I saw this title! "Anonymous Attacks Self!" actually looks like the kind of thing a hypothetical gaming pased publication along the lines of Private Eye would come up with!

How do we know if this isn't a publicity stunt
just to get more attention? Oh yeah, we don't.

I swear we need to have a movie of this.
It would have guns and explosions!
somehow....
Get Michael Bay to develop it?

It would be about exploding CPUs caused by viruses (That look like C4s went off), and a Hacker trying to get some from an FBI agent. Then the army rolls out its latest devices to track the hackers and the hacker plot gets completely forgotten.

!234ing Michael bay.

Is anyone surprised by this? This has been a long time coming. You get a group of wanna-be activist pranksters together, and you start talking up this image of the indestructible, unknowable "legion" (puh-leez)... You drum up some press that treats them like some force of nature, mysterious and destructive...

Of course they're going to start splintering and infighting. It's an illusion of power, and even that vague promise of power-without-accountability is enough to start screwing people's priorities up. This isn't Anonymous changing. This is Anonymous moving toward its inevitable conclusion, showing its true colors.

Personally, I'm glad that his little outburst resulted in the outing of quite a few of these punks. Maybe a few of them will be sent to jail. You know. For the lulz.

This "Ryan" character is a hearless person, doing the worst thing ever and hurting younger, smaller Anons by giving them...their identities! *dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!*

This is seriously fucked up in the realm of things, and just...well I feel that in the scheme of things that the attacks is really being launched by a guy who felt left out and wanted to make his way to the top by any means necessary, stepping on smaller Anons to to get there like a dictator or something, and if Anon is about helping speech, than what it attacking people for personal gain for?

Either way, seems like an interesting fight is developing, fuck Cable, who needs PSN when we have this

What he's been getting at, it seems, is that Anon claims to be this leaderless "for the people" rightsmongering organization... but really, it's an elite club addicted to the publicity and illusion of power. This Ryan, thinking himself a "true believer," is outing them because they're not staying true to the supposed vision of Anon.

(And before anyone says it, yes, there is a structure. Yes, there is a 'vision.' No, they are not an ever-changing conglomeration of concerned hacktivists. It's a group of punks with a power trip, and an ever-changing conglomeration of pranksters that follow them around to feel important.)

Neither Ryan nor Owen are being honest with themselves. This is entirely about feeling important, and you get used to that feeling over time. That means even Ryan will find himself starting do pull stunts (like, oh, this one) to make sure that others know how important he is, rather than for any "cause."

This is a spectacular story. I would not be surprised if someone writes a screenplay about this in a few years.

Anonymous, or, "Why Anarchy is Bullshit."

This this this. It's kind of frustrating that Anonymous continues to get so much reverent media attention, when they really only exist to groom their own vigilante image. They're a lot less badass than they boast.

Actually...

Anonymous has no "factions" or "sides". It has no single political moral orientation. To say it is liberal would be as wrong as to say it is conservative.
