I've never heard of anonymous until this thread. and from what I've seen in the last 15 minutes...they seem "alright" to me. but if someone could enlighten me to their past exploits I would be greatly appreciative. I prefer to know as much as I can about someone or something before I can call it good or bad.

suppose I could have done that for myself...brain fart. very interesting though. according to that it didnt really seem like they are left or right, they just...are. aside from the whole censorship deal, I dont really agree with their actions in that regards. I dunno though, seems pretty sketchy in any case.

No worries. I work in information security, so I've been following this group for a while now. Anarchists seems to be most accurate label IMO. They do appear to be quite skilled in the digital realm when they take up a cause. As everyone and everything is connected via the interwebz these days, it's best not to piss them off.

Well, I've never heard of "Anonymous" before, and have no idea who really made that video. But I think that's the BEST damn statement I've heard to date, and agree with it 100 percent.

Thanks for the bump...
I concur that this video shows they are on our side... however (dot dot dot, pause for effect), their past actions have shown them to be very dangerous (hacking is only part of it, but in that respect they are good at what they do- google it). The most dangerous part is that they fit their name well- they are anonymous. The FBI has no idea how many they are, where all of them are, and some of their Cyber Crimes Division experts believe, at least a few, are quite skilled and nearly undetectable. Furthermore, they supported OWS, that is enough to make me not really fall in behind their cause- but that video does potentially open some eyes, and reminds us of the duties of the several government offices. Doubtful any violations will have those duties actually come into play, and I seriously doubt there will be any follow through. Just the thought of Civil War is enough to make most shudder and look to find an alternative- myself included.
