Fact From Fiction: Not All Members Of Anonymous Are Created Equal - Page 3
Hey don't hack me bro, just calling it like I see it. Your skillz are mad, of that there is no doubt.
The main issue right now, is a divide I see coming between those who don't want to be associated with "the bad" but still wish to remain "Anonymous" in many ways you can't eliminate the bad from the good due to the very nature of anonymity. ANYONE can call themselves Anonymous and do good or bad. There is an obvious answer to this problem, but no one will like it.
The latest episode is related to an attack on a forum for those suffering from Epilepsy. Several news reports are claiming internet pranksters posted images which were designed to trigger seizures in epileptics, some people were adversely affected. The news reports are claiming that the internet pranksters belonged to "Anonymous" and associated this attack with the CoS Anons. The CoS Anons were quick to denounce the attacks and deny any involvement.
This coverage of this story shows shortsighted reporting if you ask me, but hey, I don't fully understand every aspect of this group either despite communicating with many of them.
I guess to put it in perspective, there are good and bad elements of any mass of people. Should we hold ALL Muslims responsible for the actions of a few? Certainly not. Should we assume all Scientologists are bad, because we know some who are? That would be unfair. Essentially, I would encourage the media to attempt to distinguish between those elements who wish to stage peaceful, legal and compassion-driven protests, from the handful of common-sense challenged cyber-bullies who get their kicks from being cruel.
The only thing they have in common is a desire to remain "Anonymous."
