Anonymous and Facebook

From the people that brought down the PS3 network, Anonymous has vowed to take down Facebook on November 5th.

So get to updating you avid Facebookers.

I hope this happens...

would talking about the government be politics? When i say government, i'm talking about as a whole, not the different views/sides.

Why do you hope this happens.
All I see is a bunch of losers that have nothing better to do than to ruin other people's life in order to "get back at the big man"
It's stupid and annoying.

Do you know what they actualy do?

They don't just "shut down" places. When the playstation network went down, they gained access to people's personal information and used it maliciously. Severl people were victims of identity theft due to this. They've been suspected of doing other stuff like this.
It's not just "let's shut it down", it's let's shut it down and ruin people's lives while we have our hands on sensitive information.

It'd be one thing if they just used a super computer and multiple IP addresses to crash the Facebook servers (which has never been done btw - Facebook, since it started has never once "been down") but the Anonymous instead hack in and shut it down that way. Then once they're in they have all of your/our personal info

I think it's hard to pinpoint what Anonymous actually does, since it's probably a very wide variety of hackers. Some that do it for political reasons, while some do it for fun/attention, and others to steal identities.

Can you honestly sit there and prove that the hackers of the PS network used other peoples sensitive information?

As for facebook, you probably shouldn't put credit card info, your home address, or reuse a password that belongs to something important, like your email or online banking password.

As for me, i have nothing to worry about if my account gets hacked because i'm not dumb enough to do any of those things.

That's exactly the problem, we don't know exactly what they are and aren't doing. Yes, people had their identity stolen after the playstation network went down. Are you going to tell me it WASN'T them?

What exactly is there purpose? Facebook uses our infmoration in the same way that onstar uses it. It's used to know what people of certain demographics are interested. That is all the "information" used. I don't see anything wrong with it. People have to make money one way or another.

No, i'm not saying it wasn't them. Just saying they had political reasons for taking down the PS network. Not just to steal peoples information.

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