What has Anon done for free speech? Internet vandalism? I don't think that counts.

- pyre 16y ago"Raising awareness" "There is no bad publicity" ...etc...
- Aaronontheweb 16y ago"Raising awareness" is what slacktivists say instead of actually doing something meaningful to whatever cause it is they care about it.
- jasonlotito 16y agoPeople who disrupt business operations are bad people and shouldn't be propped up on shoulders. Preventing processing of high risk 3DS transactions and preventing busses from getting people home are both good examples of this. People give Anon and Parks too much credit in my book.
- smokeyj 16y ago> People who disrupt business operations are bad people and shouldn't be propped up on shoulders. Exactly right, which is why Paypal shouldn't have disrupted Wikileaks' account. Bullying the little guy is quite cowardly of these multi-national corporations.
- pigbucket 16y agoGood examples indeed! Especially the one about Rosie Parks. Of all the possible examples in the history of the world of disrupting business operations in a way that inconveniences people, I can see why that one came first to mind. Perfect analogue for a DoS attack: Denial of Seat!. Brilliant!
- jasonlotito 16y agoDoS, I love it. Technically, it was a DDoS, a Damsel's Denial of Seat, but credit goes to you. Wonderful. /bow
- hootx 16y agoYou cannot seriously argue that Rosa Parks "shouldn't be propped up on shoulders" because she instigated the first event in a series of coordinated events that stopped the buses in Montgomery County. She was not a bad person. She made a stand against racial segregation, something we now all acknowledge as unjust.

- redthrowaway 16y agoThe acidity of your dripping sarcasm appeals to my gen x sensibilities.
