this makes me so happy. facebook gets trashed and anonymous makes themselves look like morons and everyone hate them. two horrible thi.gs with one stone. I knew that BS taking attacking the child.porn site was just a.publicity stunt. they went right back to being total douche bags
Annonymous isnt evil fool. If anything theyre the devils advocate for hacking. Without people like this publicly exsposing massive weaknesses in our data networks we will never be anywhere near safe. Plus facebook is lame, and jesus porn hahahaha
Lols..... Good they targeted Facebook and not some educational kiddy site. For a change it was good to get the SN guys running to a more realistic life afterall.
theyre just a bunch of nerds with too much time on their hands. how about you douchebags move out of your parent's basement and get a life. also, how about this remarkable idea: if you dont like facebook just dont use it. i'm probably asking for too much....go back to eating hot pockets you fat fucks.
FB deserve to be attacked. They have toyed with users over privacy issues - they wish to end the whole idea of privacy in fact - and exert far too big a monopoly on social networking. Ordinary users just don't seem to get that handing over their entire life to a social networking site is very dangerous. Whether this hacktivism will raise awareness or not remains to be seen.
To those who say: "if you don't like FB then don't use it". That would be fair if FB had not totally dominated the world's social networking and there was a choice. I still never hear anyone say: "are you on FB or Google+?". FB is the de facto standard. Increasingly I am just expected to be on FB by friends and colleagues (I am not). How long before employers, dates, agencies want details of your social networking?
No-one in their right mind would give the *government* the amount of information freely given to FB. Because it's all *fun* social networking Joe and Jane don't hesitate. Take my life, they say.
This is cyber terrorism, no less. There may indeed be weaknesses in Facebooks data networks in the same way as I may leave my house unlocked. That does not make Facebook (or me) a criminal - the criminal is the person who exploits such a weakness. If criminals did not exist I would not have to lock my door so security would be a non issue.
Ummm, I hate Facebook. The sooner that nefarious infestation is brought down the better.
I am however not in agreement with the tactics of using pornography to do so. I don't think Anonymous is behind this, rather Anonymous is being used as a front to give the organization behind Occupy Wall Street and other human liberation projects, a bad name. If anything, Anonymous has been quite vocal in its fight against the ubiquitousness of pornography.
And google is any better than Facebook how? Now your personal online data will be used across google's massive reach all over the internet. And there will eventually be viruses and plenty of morons on plus, too.
Anyone can do anything and claim to be someone else doing it for some other reason. If someone did all this and posted "I am Elvis. I am in your facebuilding." would everyone assume Elvis has come back to life to expose the weakness of facebook? It if anything was probably some bored person that stumbled upon an exploit, and facebook could have very well put out the information that it was Anonymous to draw attention away from their failure to deal with it. "Yeah...we got hacked but..but...look! It was Anonymous! They're evil! Don't blame us!" After one pseudo-news report everyone blindly jumps on board. Well if thats all it takes, lets run with it. Anonymous sunk the Titanic. They also sacked Rome, and brought down the World Trade Center. They're also responsible for the economic meltdown, as well as Jersey Shore.
This is what happens when you sign up for all those Facebook plug-ins such as myyearbook mybirthday mycalender etc and allow uncontrolled access to all your FB content!!!
