Most of the troll posts here are not worth my time. but I will respond to some of the more serious questions, compliments - and criticisms of our new service AnonPaste.

First of all, I am nearly 50 years old - and hardly a script-kiddie. Secondly, the Peoples Liberation Front has been around for nearly 3 decades - and we have a great deal of experience in how the government uses so called "criminal" investigations to track and silence activists. That is why we have offered to host and manage AnonPaste.

We have plenty of resources, so the cost is not a factor - although we do appreciate and donations people wish to make to help us defray the bandwidth and disk bills. Every dollar we DON'T have to spend supporting this service can be used for our other projects like "Laptops For Freedom" which helped supply dozens of computers to protesters in Tahir Square in Egypt for example.

The claim that we can not delete any particular paste is true. There is no way for us to match a particular post with any file in the database. I know, I have tried. As for the possibility of getting massively spammed as a form of attack, it has happened already which is why we are (reluctantly) adding a captcha feature to defeat the malicious bots.

There is nothing wrong with making the individual poster responsible for the legality and appropriatness of what they post. The idea is not to encourage so called illegality, but to both protect activists posting controversial material - as well as to protect the host (in this case us) from undue and burdensome harrasment making it near impossible to even run these services.

5 bucks says someone (the Government) will eventually try to hack into the new paste server with the collaboration of captured botnets and its teams of supercomputers to then censor or leak the encrypted data out to the public. Once they have control over it, they'll use the system to begin logging IP addresses to begin another cat and mouse chase. Like the article said, they're using open-source code, so how hard is it to retool it for their own. This paste server in their eyes is an unsanctioned activity without any national affiliation so they'll ignore First Amendment rights to push for their own cause, by saying their actions were to protect the public's interest and safety. If they can't get in to the server, they'll deal ANON their same card, a DDOS attack and blame it on another party.

If you read up to this point without rating thanks for listening. I'd like to end with my own strict opinion and to not push some agenda on to any of you is that if you don't believe everything you hear and see than good for you.

[citation][nom]joytech22[/nom]Funny how people mock them, yet they still have more power than those who mock them.They aren't out there to wreak havoc, they have a cause unlike Lulsec etc..People really misunderstand what Anonymous is about, well the official Anonymous anyway, and not those fake Anonymous groups claiming to take down the internet or Facebook etc..You just need to do your research before you can judge Anonymous.I know I'm probably going to get thumbed down a ton, but some people just don't understand, they read the papers, watch the news, see others posting negative things about them when really they are reporting on copycat groups.Anon itself isn't exactly bad, they don't abuse their power for fun.[/citation]
you know like posting porn videos disguised as children videos on youtube...
