Anonymous to UN (Lybia) Dear United Nations: Anonymous wishes you to act. We are watching the developments in Libya and are shocked. Shocked by the images we've seen. Shocked by the things Libya's Anons have told us. Shocked by the fact that one man ignores the voices of his citizens and opens fire on them. Shocked by the fact that even with generals and diplomats deserting, this man is still ignoring the will of his people and unwilling to accept their human rights People ought not have to fear their leaders; leaders ought to fear their people. We just want the people to be free. The United Nations has the power to prevent this egregious loss of life, but it must act quickly and decisively to do so, contrary to its usual habits. We ask not for meetings or referenda. 1. That world which you claim to protect is watching and will respond accordingly. We are Anonymous We are Legion. Expect us.

EGYPT. “Internet not working, police cars burning,” sent out one Egyptian. “Today marks a great day for Egypt,” sent out another. These messages weren’t coming from mobile phones or computers, but from an amateur radio sending out Morse Code somewhere amidst the chaos in Egypt. The Egyptian government’s efforts to limit communications within the country has triggered a wave of activism from an international group of free speech activists on the Internet called Telecomix. Organizing using chat rooms, wikis, and collaborative writing tools, this largely anonymous group has worked to inform Egyptians about their communications options while receiving incoming messages from them. Telecomix has previously worked on free speech efforts in Tunisia, Iran, China and other countries who have tried to censor or block parts of the Internet.
Egypt has been identified as a “top priority” for Telecomix on one of its network sites, We Re-Build. Here’s a timeline of recent events for the group: Tunis. Anonymous take on Egypt. IRAN.

Prosecuting a granny for downloading songs: You’re doing it wrong. One Huge Industry Giant wrote: Headlines about a grandmother being fined hundreds of thousands of dollars did not properly present the big picture, and they were terrible PR for the industry. He’s right. (America and businesses based here being huge bullies over Wikileaks is another post for another time). Some Anonymous are getting very DdoSy via Operation Payback which to me seems a bit misplaced and possibly short-sighted. I’ll give you my Space Food Stick if I can crib off your math test is making a deal; lifting off someone’s page without permission (or attribution, or a processed food snack) is cheating.
First off: Media interpretation of “Anonymous” needs to be flexible; heck Anonymous is flexible, fluid. Sonny Bono is an interesting case. Tax the means of delivery! RE:Twitter Subpoena - Operation Payback. A message to Viacom. LEAKSPIN. Government sites.
