ANONYMOUS vs. SOPA

 for whoever brought up Lulzsec, do you not remember their alleged involvement in the PSN hack?  I will never forgive that, especially with the credit card hassle I had to deal with afterwards.

I did sign the petition. As of now SOPA is stalled due to it, although with further voting SOPA can return. Of course there's also PIPA.

 I do not entirely agree with how Anonymous does things. They say they're working for the people (often as a Robin Hood-esque type fashion) yet they continually target resources which people use causing inconvenience to many. In some cases they hack and distribute information in a way that harms those they are trying to benefit.

This is in no way me agreeing with SOPA. After all I wrote to my senator against it and signed the online petition. I'm just stating my views on the whole scheme of things. 
 
 I just don't want people to blindly think that Anonymous is some sort of savior without doing research on what they've actually done.

The idea of these elite hackers (ooh, all spy movie like) writing these crazy letters or posting videos to the big bad government or those mega corporations seems like something to idolize (very fantastical and perfect movie plot I'm sure)... But I caution people to take into account the repercussions to each action Anonymous takes. Also to notice the damage done by those falsely representing Anonymous (after all who can verify identities if one is anonymous?).

 ...this is turning into a rant... 

You do bring up good points, Ji. Thing is, you do have lots of good points there. But I will disagree. I am not just another blind follower. I know that how they do things may be unorthodox, and may actually put others in harm, but look at all the non-violent protests. Sometimes the riot squad is called in on them. Do you find it fair that the government decides to contain innocent people fighting for their rights? If Anon is to put an end to our corrupt government, who wouldn't follow? Even if it doesn't, anon is a part of our history now and we will not ignore the fact that they tried. No matter how harsh the methods they TRIED. Now can you honestly say that writing to a senator and signing a petition will do anything? I really doubt that.
 
Oh... Mai... Lord...


I DECLARE WORLD WAR THREE ON THIS CORRUPTED EARTH! I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE WORLD ENDING ANYMORE. DAMN THIS. >:(
 
Doc what's this second war you speak of. Also to anyone that doesn't support how anonymous does things you all know that they do them to point out the flaws that companies have. Most being the fact that corrupted men stay corrupt, then move on to becoming senators. So just remember they at least come out and tell us it was them,evil people would just exploit these company flaws for profit.
 
I agree to all of your sayings  For some people Anonymous might not be correct because they dont know enough about them, and yea, they have tryed to close facebook once and didnt worked. The problem on the 5th of november was that the Anonymous group was divided between those who wanted facebook and those who didnt. But this is different.
SOPA might not only close facebook, but many other websites.
This time, Anonymous is fighting for the freedom of ideas. This time many people support them, the whole world knows about this.

If senators don't listen to us, a war against them will be started.
 
My view on this war thing is that anonymous only has power over technology, if the CIA/FBI/DEA sent a team to collect these people and detain them for oh let's say "terrorist attacks on .gov websites" there really isn't much a bunch of non-militant trained people can do to survive.
 
This other war I speak of is this: if US strikes Iran, there are possibilities that the war could go global. Plus, there are rumors that china wants over half of Russia. So there you go. WW3 rumor possibilities.
 
Restricting the internet? ._.

I knew congress was compossed of a few hundred dumb babies that are always arguing and never getting along. Always trying to sabotage another, like now with those dumb Republicans in the House of Rep ._.
But I didn't imagine them being this dumb. They are basically shutting down their resources. They might not use the internet BUT all of them have "think tanks" or however called. A group of people TO THING AND RESEARCH FOR THEM. So.... basically they will be pissing off the world and stabbing themselves.
 
@ Doc: on I totally agree with you I can see that happening in our future, it will be just exactly like WW2, America won't step in till 75% of damage is done hahaha but really who can blame them. It's hypocritical to say that and complain about them being in everyones business.
 
Amanda, I have good news for you. Anon. Is not just a group with specific members. The members are the people who want change. So you, by saying you want to join them, are already a member. It's not like a gang where you battle for rank
