What's Hawt: "Anonymous has detailed how it plans to take down The Internet on March 31st of this year."
Update According to Anonymous’ Twitter account, it seems that this operation was not vetted by who ever runs their organization. Read more at the bottom of the story.

The U.S propaganda machine sure is working overtime lately.
Here's a tip for you, try doing your own research instead of blindly following whatever junk Uncle Sam or the British Government come out with.
I couldn't care any less. Mangle those root servers. *shrug*
Anons you're wasting your time. Stockholm has already set in.
Bills like SOPA,PIPA, and ACTA will just gain even more backing and now instead of having the average person behind opposing the bills it will get messy.
The media will just cover how these internet terrorists Anonymous have been terrorizing the internet, companies, etc. and without bills such as SOPA/PIPA/ACTA things won't change. They will fear monger the public into accepting a quick passing of the bills.

One of the downfalls of not having a leader is that a lot of people have been doing things in the name of Anonymous, when in fact it goes against the very thing the group stands for. It's no different than child-molesting priests giving all priests a bad name.
Furthermore, I recall a time when they were going to take down Facebook. Guess what? Didn't happen. The wannabes are the ones making empty threats.
Nothing in that definition says anything about killing people. Anonymous is, by definition, a terrorist organisation and if you're a part of Anon then you're a terrorist. Get over it.
And they aren't "hactivists". Activists protest. They don't try to take down the internet or hack into companies like Sony or take personal information in company databases.
And I can't believe you're trying to defend these losers. They're one of the reasons why the government wants to censor the internet in the first place.
1) Terrorism is the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. Now if you look up the definition(s) of terror, you'll find this:
: violent or destructive acts (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands <insurrection and revolutionary terror>
I don't know what world you live in, but nobody in this world fears Anonymous. They're annoying more than anything, thus, they don't fall under the category of a terrorist.
2) Wrong again. If you opened up your dictionary once more and looked up Activist, you would find this:
: a doctrine or practice that emphasizes direct vigorous action especially in support of or opposition to one side of a controversial issue
3) I'm not defending anyone. I'm merely stating that most people who hate Anonymous have no idea what they're actually about. Educate yourself before you commit to hating something.
4) If you did your research - and it looks to me like you haven't (again) - you'd know that groups like Anonymous have nothing to do with bills like PITA and SOPA. In fact, this sort of thing has been going on since the '90s.
You're wrong on all four accounts. "Get over it."
