Anonymous vows revenge after 15 arrested; AntiSec hacks continue
- androck1 15y agoThe Italian government should worry about throwing Berlusconi in prison before they worry about Anonymous.
- eli 15y agoI guess I'm stating the obvious here, but showing the world that you "don't tolerate censorship" by taking down a public website is a just a wee bit silly.
- dmix 15y agoBy that logic, locking someone in jail for kidnapping is a bit silly as well. They both involve not allowing someone to leave confinment, but one is punishment and the other is a crime against personal freedoms.
- ralfd 15y agoAt least in your example the real kidnapper was locked up.
- eli 15y agoIt's not a very good analogy, but yes, if you locked up a kidnapper because you "don't tolerate forced confinement" then I think that would be silly.
- joejohnson 15y agoOr the death penalty for murderers. This is hypocritical (and unconstitutional).

- sigzero 15y agoSilly and hypocritical...
- wccrawford 15y agoI can't believe I didn't see this coming. It's so obvious in retrospect.
- sliverstorm 15y agoSince when is a business refusing to provide service (Nimbuzz) "censorship"?
- pyre 15y agoI'm assuming that they are making a distinction between refusing to provide telecommunications service and refusing to serve someone at a restaurant.
- sliverstorm 15y agoThat is senseless though. Is telecommunications service a basic need? Do they have a monopoly on it?
- icebraining 15y agoI think it depends on the reasons. When Nimbuzz refused business to the people of Egypt and Syria on request of their governments, I'd say it was. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean they shouldn't have the right to do so.
- jws 15y agoGood. Just keep poking those heads up out of the foxhole. That will start working any time now.
- ChrisNorstrom 15y agoThis specific group of Anons were really asking for it. I don't like all powerful governments like the next guy but these Anons (like many of the past) act and behave like a group of young rebellious men with nothing to do, who desire to feel powerful by causing trouble and saying it's in the name of justice. The companies whose servers they broke into now have more of a reason to fear them than the oppressive governments anon was against in the first place. I can talk shit about Obama and Bush all day without worry, they won't hack my site. Speak out against anon...
