Please notice my scare quotes - I don't agree with laws against "hate speech". They are laws against speech.
My point is, several high profile celebrity disasters in the US have shown that American popular culture has NO tolerance for the "ironic" or "humourous" use of certain epithets.
Anon is wide open to a media flap of this sort.
Not only are the laws/social norms that distinguish "hate" speech from other activities, against speech, THEY ARE ALSO AGAINST THOUGHT.
Perhaps it is better to have free speech entirely, and let us each make our own judgements about the people speaking.
Diversity of viewpoint is a wealth, not a burden.

DDOS is not illegal, all you do is overload the server it only helped everyone, just look at all the media attention we got.
You are incorrect. 'Criminal Intent' is an essential element of criminal activity, and, an intention to sabotage someone's server is a criminal intent. Combine it with conspiracy to do so and it's compounded.

Besides all i did is vamp rape/gigaloading

Pointing out that the C of $ does not conduct any significant income-producing activities on the Internet and so taking their websites offline does not significantly affect there operations whatsoever makes me an "OSA Stooge", eh?
Pointing out that taking down there web sites is an act of denying them Free Speech and is therefore an act of major hypocricy from a group that professes to be upholding Freedom of Speech makes me an "OSA Stooge", eh?

Woah, the Economist reports on anonymous... and in printed edition too.

Anonymous didn't achieve the number one ranking they wanted for "brainwashing cult" or for "scientology" ...but they did take them up to the third result. Not bad for a brand new effort.
What makes me suspicious of this whole 'story' is that http://xenu.net has been consistently within the top 3 results on Google for years now. With no 'anonymous' help
Sometimes 2, most often 3, but even sometimes #1. The only time it's been off those placings for any time was when Google itself caved to Scientology and removed the front page.
Sounds to me like '50% Off!' a price that's set to double the market rate...
And, it makes me wonder how informed this writer is.
