Anonymous Tricks Bystanders Into Attacking Justice Department
- th0ma5 15y agoI know that the decentralized nature of Anonymous still befuddles the traditional media, and offshoots of Anonymous are apparently somewhat centralized, I foresee Anonymous as a name being co-opted by these stories of activities that make for good web traffic, and the real heart of the decentralized flux being more under the radar, which is probably what everyone would like anyway.
- CountHackulus 15y agoMuch in the same way the Poul Anderson story "Sam Hall" progressed. "Sam Hall" originally started as an fake record entry, but then slowly people in a rebellion started to use his name as a symbol. The decentralized nature of Anonymous lends itself well to this. Also highly recommend the short story, really good fun.
