Immature and stupid. These people aren't "hackers" they are just idiots who want attention but act like they don't with their "anonymous" crap.


Also, if they really did "shut down" the internet, it wouldn't mean anything. Everyone would just be pissed off and no one will like anonymous anymore. It's far from sending out a message about corporate greed.

I say good luck to them.

I'm not necessarily sure that it's an effective way to make the point they want to make, but I agree with their motivation and I'm still interested to see if they can do it or not and what kind of impact they can cause.

If you'd be planning such a thing, would you tell everyone what exactly you'll be doing even before you do it?
Either this is a fake or they never really planned to do it and just want publicity.

I'm guessing that someone unrelated to Anon made this announcement.
