It's also been known that Anonymous has taken down child porn sites and white supremacy sites...

Having a good primary reason, doesn't mean it gives them the right to have a crappy secondary reason.

I just think these are crappy people with nothing better to do with their lives.

The Anonymous openly admits to being behind the PS network crash. Just an FYI

Operation Sony

See also: Sony Computer Entertainment America v. George Hotz
Anonymous announced their intent to attack Sony websites in response to Sony's lawsuit against George Hotz and, specifically due to Sony's gaining access to the IP addresses of all the people who visited George Hotz' blog as part of the libel action, terming it an 'offensive against free speech and internet freedom'[160][161] Although Anonymous admitted responsibility to subsequent attacks on the Sony websites, Anonymous branch AnonOps denied that they were the cause behind a major outage of the Playstation Network in April 2011. However, as Anonymous is a leaderless organisation, the possibility remains that another branch of the group is responsible for the outage.[162][163]

Operation Facebook

On August 2011, someone created an account on Twitter with the name OP_Facebook and announced the "Operation Facebook". According to the links on the post, Anonymous will take down Facebook on the fifth of November 2011.[176] The date "November 5" is believed to be attributed to the comics V for Vendetta, where the character "V" conducts his major plans every fifth of November. This operation isn't assuredly an Anonymous one. There was an earlier OpFacebook that was abandoned, and this current plan is a revival of the communication channels previously used.[177] The plan is contentious and does not appear to be supported by the majority of those who say they are part of Anonymous.[178]

True. I guess I should rephrase. Anonymous sent out a threatening declaration declaring their intentions and plan to crash the PS network. Then, as if magically, the PS network crashed and people's identities got stolen. I'm just saying.

i think there are some people like that in the group Anonymous, but i also think there are people that are a part of Anonymous that are really hacking for the good. ie taking down child porn sites, freedom of speech, etc.

I can't really say how people should live their lives. I'm sure the Anonymous people are saying the same thing about the people on car forums for a good part of their day. lol

and hey, Anonymous actually gave a warning about taking down facebook. So if you were smart, you'd back up everything that you felt important, and changed all your passwords/info for at least that day. lol

they gave a warning about the PS shut down too. Oh also, some of the Anonymous' previous work

On March 28, 2008, Wired News reported that "Internet griefers"—a slang term for people whose only interests are in harassing others[1]—assaulted an epilepsy support forum run by the Epilepsy Foundation of America.[2] JavaScript code and flashing computer animations were posted with the intention of triggering migraine headaches and seizures in photosensitive and pattern-sensitive epileptics.[2] According to Wired News, circumstantial evidence suggested that the attack was perpetrated by Anonymous users, with the initial attack posts on the epilepsy forum blaming eBaum's World. Members of the epilepsy forum claimed they had found a thread in which the attack was being planned at 7chan.org, an imageboard that has been described as a stronghold for Anonymous. The thread, like all old threads eventually do on these types of imageboards, has since cycled to deletion.[2]

In January 2009 members of Anonymous targeted California teen McKay Hatch who runs the No Cussing Club, a website against profanity.[62][63] As Hatch's home address, phone number, and other personal information were leaked on the internet, his family has received a lot of hate mail, lots of obscene phone calls, and even bogus pizza and pornography deliveries.[64]

Their wiki page

It's a decent read. While yes the Anonymous have done some good, their last "good" act appears to be from 2007.
