For those asking: What is ANONYMOUS aka these hackers attacking amazon, paypal and others?

Anonymous is not for moral ideas. It is for the lulz

"Starting as an in-joke itself, "Anonymous" is the name assigned to a poster who does not enter text in the [Name] field on chan imageboards. (...) Anonymous is not a single person, but rather, represents the collective whole of the internet.

(...)

Anonymous is not a (...) movement or cause: Anonymous is a collective of people with too much time on their hands, a commune of human thought and useless imagery. A gathering of sheep and fools, assholes and trolls, and normal everyday netizens.

(...)

Anonymous is not so much unlike other web communities, it has in-jokes, culture, extended debates, etc, just like everyone else. Well, anyone stupid enough to join a web community.


(...) What most people do not see in anonymous is that they do not go up against Scientology because of their ways, nor do anonymous do anything else for a valid reason.

(...)

Anonymous in itself is a free-joining attention seeking "cult" as it may be referred to. They go up against Scientology so that they attract attention, moar people join, they become more confident and repeat.
(...)

...Anonymous is humanity when the gloves come off."
