So wait....ANON wants a internet blackout day?? Why doesnt ANON do its normal DDoS attacks. Now I know that some ppl defend ANON. That is their choice. I however see them as the cyber terrorist that they are. And anyone who doesnt agree with thier world view gets hacked. Seems to me that ANON just wants the freedom to do as they like, but with none of the consiquences that come with that freedom.
Guys if your going to complain about the govt, try and be constructive about it. Yes the govt has a cyber force. Every major power does. What makes the US govt different from every other super power witha cyber force? They have a Constitution to work against. Yes they may make laws you do not agree with. But thats the nature of a changing society. I do not agree with a lot of the laws out there. But I am a US citizen, I AM protected by not only a 200+ yr old piece of paper, but by every person who has died to defend the ideals of that paper. So before you go on your super conspiracy rant on how the govt is taking away (insert BS rant) think about how bad other ppl have it. Many govt refuse the populace the ability to even see the web. Add on to that the fact that there are many countries were most ppl can not afford either a computer or even electricity. If your a US citizen you have more rights and power then half the world. Take a few mins and look at yourself. Then look at them. Then really ask yourself "Do I really have it THAT bad?" Because I guarentee, you dont.
I somehow agree with you. Computer business is always messy anyway. But be sure that Anonymous wouldn't be so "followed" around the world by people that felt that political pressure on them. I mean, Anonymous has it's own meaning, it's own symbol. Everywhere in the world, people protesting use that Guy Fawkes mask, symbol of Anonymous (in both way : Not being known (so speaking for a lot), and the group Anonymous, symbol of revolution against an common oppressor (of course, that is MY point of view, MY definition, therefore, as a human being, I might be wrong, as much as I might not be.)
But let me ask you something. What is your point of view on U.S.A's wars ? Are you FOR or AGAINST them ?
If you are FOR, then stop reading, because that means that you won't find anything interesting in what I say next. But if your are AGAINST it, then keep on reading.
Why are you against them ? Because of what specific reason ? I think that we all remember the Vietnam war, such a loss. Young soldiers were sent there to "die" (since not all of them died, I did put the " ). Have you ever been in a battlefield ? I certainly didn't, but I can tell you, from what I hear that it is completely horrible. Many people choose not to talk because of the atrocities they had to make. Anyway, going off subject (just a bit ) so I will go back In the subject.
This CISPA thing, as of this SOPA and PIPA thing is war. A war lead by the U.S.A to control the web. A war lead by this Giant to control one of the last thing they don't control (yet? I hope so!). When internet was first born, it was believed by most of the people to be free, and to always stay this way. No one, no government has the power to fully control it. And thank God for that, because if they did, imagine all the abuse that it would do.
Don't tell me that if -let's say- Saudi Arabia (Just an example, taken because of that Islam-phobia growing ( thanks to the U.S.A)). If THEY were to vote for the CISPA bill, would you still say YES! to it ?
My answer would stay the same for sure: NO for CISPA, NO for control over one of the last thing we have left !
What makes your country be any better than the others ? There are "only" (around) 200 countries in the planet, and yet, only one big boss, only one coach ?
Anyway, you see Anonymous as being terrorists, I see them as being some kind of White Knights ( why not Black Knights ? Why is Light synonym of purity, and Dark or darkness ?)
Believe me when I say that if Anonymous was, in fact, just a bunch of people trying to forge the world as they want it to be, and that so many people follow them, it is because behind the world they want to forge, there is an idea, a hope that we, the people, will have freedom, freedom of life, freedom of speech, freedom of being human, freedom of having a will, and knowing that this will can be used.
Did you ever see any group that was so much appreciated by the people have so much dark ideas ? I never have !
Finally, of course, you can say: "It's part of their plan. Once everyone follow, they will be zombies, and we will use them to conquer the world ! MOUHHAHAHAHAHA *evil laugh*"
But at least, they give us hope. Hope that humanity is awaking. Hope that the fight against these freedom-taking governments and laws and bills will be put to a stop. Don't say that you are not concerned by their actions. We are all.
Just take the red pill!
