From a layman's point of view, I have always wondered why hackers rather create tools to hack normal citizen rather than go for those guys. I understand it is often about the money involved... But maybe they do and we don't hear about it ?
Anonymous is a weird group, sometimes you think they are acting for the good of humanity hunting down criminals, sometimes you hear them push a political agenda that is frankly debatable and arbitrary. Going after neo-nazis and promoters of hate is on the other hand an indisputably good cause...
- ahugebeach 9y agoOld neo nazi's were involved in a lot of crime and drug activities which made them alot scarier. New neo nazi's seem alot more normal looking and young (based on charlotteville), which is probably more worrying for a different reason.
- zo1 9y agoWould you say the same of convicted killers? How about rapists? Robbers? You know, they actually harmed people. Not like those evil "promoters of hate". While we're at it, let's take your line of thinking to it's logical conclusion. If someone espouses, agrees with or promotes your currently-accepted definition of "hate", then we should not prosecute anyone that does harm to them, because it's an "indisputably good cause".
