Anonymous targets Sony (again)

[Zomosa]

Well they said they will hack/attack/DDoS Facebook too but nothing happened, then again they really do not like Sony.

TL;DR

Sony are dicks.

I think the key thing to remember that by its very definition Anonymous can be anybody. I could photoshop a V for Vendetta mask onto a suit and claim to be a member of Anonymous. So a splinter group can say "We will bring down Facebook for Lolz" while another splinter group says "No if you/we bring down facebook I wont be able to play farmville." If you think about thefact that they are a faceless organisation yet often take stands against the "faceless" corporation is rather ironic.

Hence one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist. Its all a matter of perspective. And Why not liken them to Anti-government protesters or anti-capitalism protesters? Each group protest against something they feel strongly about, Anon does the same for a cause they feel strongly about. From my perspective its all pretty much the same.

Fair enough, I get where you're coming from. Its just the more I thought about what they've done, the more I disagree with their methods. Each to their own like you said.

I dont agree with them or their methods either but sometimes, whether by design or by accident, good may come of what they do. SOPA is a bad idea and if the power players need to be scared into not supporting it, Exitus Acta Probat.
