With Enough Money, You Can Circumvent YouTube's TOS On Banned Accounts - Page 2
It features a menacing voice-over that describes the group's attacks in detail. "January 2008. A message from 'Anonymous' is sent to the Church of Scientology."
The voice-over continues: "Their attacks start on Jan. 17th. They illegally bring down the Church of Scientology Public Information Web site. Jan. 18th. Two hundred and forty one harassing phone calls. Obscene faxes. Death threats. E-mail threats. Bomb threat. Envelopes containing an unknown white powder resembling anthrax are delivered to 24 churches."
The narrator goes on and on, then names men they claim are members of the group.
"Any Anonymous member may be an accessory to these criminal acts. Many of their identities are known," the videos say.
Ryan Benno from Valencia, Calif., is shown, as well as Jonathan Brown from Tarzana, Calif., who is making a goofy face in his photo, and Sean Carasov from Los Angeles. None of the men in the videos could be reached for comment.
A spokesperson for the Church of Scientology said, "We absolutely made the videos."
"We have researchers that have found these men. When you get death threats and bomb threats directly going after the church, we don't take it lightly."
On a thread on Enturb, a member of Anonymous stated this:
The Church of Scientology had a previous account which was permanently banned due to ToS violations (posted videos targeting individuals and broadcasting their personal information [picture, name, location, alleged alias]).According to Youtube's strict rule set, the "Church" is not allowed to have a second account ("channel"). This rule was made clear by Youtube in the recent banning of Mark Bunker's account (XenuTV1).
The new Scientology Channel, a paid channel (good to know where those fixed donations are going) is up and running and cheerfully spreading the CoS propaganda unfettered by bothersome rules about opening a new account after having your first one banned.
I can't wait to hear YT back-peddling on this one.
