I also observe that the image boards that Anonymous crawled out of, wretched hives and they're proud of it, have only one unforgivable offense: posting child pornography. Anyone who does so can expect to be banned and have their IP and personal information reported to the Feds.

So yeah.

I'm with Anthony:

I don't know much about Anonymous (who does?) either, but so far their actions have been in the public interest (yes, as THEY view it) and not against the public itself. I have no problem with someone outting information on someone in power pushing a bill to out information about private citizens. I loved it!

And yes, the naming of the bill, much like here, is a transparent attempt to hide what it is: massive invasion of privacy. I'm pretty sure, from all I've heard, that it's done here and they're just following our example.

I'm on the fence about Anonymous, but thus far they haven't done anything of which I've disapproved (but of which TPTB REALLY disapproves). That makes me a bit in their favor.

Sig, let us know how the tests turned out, please? I don't know who dd is, but obviously someone close to you about whom you care, so I hope things turned out well. I can't imagine being able to sleep in a hospital setting, myself (!), so I hope she was able to do so and you got some results. Take care.

They also frown on animal cruelty, though the members tend to take the punishment for posting animal cruelty into their own hands instead of through more official channels.

"SACRAMENTO, CA - International hacker group Anonymous claims responsibility for hacking and releasing information
about members of the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association union.
"California police have a notorious history of brutality and therefore have been on our hit list for a good minute now,"
Anonymous posted on a forum, where they released the information."

Interview with a Hacktivist => http://www.news10.net/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=138048
"We didn't cause a rebellion, we didn't start a coup, we helped." said one 19 year old female Anon. "We sent care packages
that allowed them to work around the filters their government was putting on the internet."

Anonymous launch OpUkraine to tackle Euro 2012 animal cruelty
=> http://technologymob.com/2012/01/anonymous-launch-opukraine-to-tackle-
euro-2012-animal-cruelty
/
"UEFA are apparently not completely innocent either having donated 8000 Euros on two occasions for the Sterilisation of
dogs in Ukraine.
"Anonymous didn’t just make a threat though; they took their first action by releasing information (“dox”) on UEFA members
such as Peter Gilliéron and Allan Hansen."

How is the sterilization of (homeless, hungry?) dogs cruel? Did Anonymous think this through?
Cruetly to animals, abandoned animals are issues that will get me frothing. I favor the efforts of folks like Randy
Grimm who catch, feed and rehome the homeless animals. When abandoned dogs reproduce, their pups go feral, living on
the edge of starvation ... I hope for human intervention to save and control them.

Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act

Now, who could POSSIBLY be against protecting our precious children from evil, vile online predators ?

This is an example of something that's actually a dangerous precedent hiding behind something with an innocuous name and a just sounding cause.

They chose the name so that they could tar any opposition as exactly what you said ("who could be against amendments to the Clear Air Act?"), but I wouldn't exactly trust that internet predators is what they're really after. There's already kind of a system in place to catch internet predators and shut down pornographic rings.

This is something else.




And where do you suppose they learned how to do that? How could anyone speak out against the USA-PATRIOT Act without being seen as anti-patriotic? And that's precisely what happened, all across this nation: anyone who spoke out against it was branded un-American, traitor, terrorist, and more. It even went on right here on this forum.

If people have pets, they should take care those pets don't reproduce and that there's no accidents if they aren't spayed or neutered.

But at the same time, the plight of feral animals is the fault of humans deciding to take wild animals and make them suitable pets then losing them again to the wild. I have mixed feelings about sterilizing feral animals, I suspect that would be terrifying for the animal, and a large birth rate may be necessary to counter balance a high death rate in the population (feral animals are no longer pets).

Heck, I have mixed feelings about sterilizing pets, because it's not like you'd sterilize a human, though I recognize the necessity here.

Now, what would be the odds of that ?
