I Was There When Anonymous Really Started

Do you believe Anonymous still holds power today?

[@grekandrew8995]

No

[@conniesenesr6915]

No!! Scams! I don't trust!

[@pwDalta]

Yes, anonsecITA still holds the line.

[@tecknows]

ROFLMAO. Mainstream Media is focused on Liberalism at the moment. However, you can still see what they are doing through organizations such as TechNet, CrunchNet, and CSNet.

[@PrincessHarlotte]

No. As a former participant, I believe several governments infiltrated grassroots groups to manipulate and influence their actions. It's too easy for renegade attention seekers to corrupt and destroy the original intent.

[@Nekumiya]

The idea of having a screen dedicated to showing time so we can see the skips & how it was all edited is imo brilliant

[@pokettomonsta]

You notice it too, I thought I was crazy

[@Magoggles]

I was there in Sydney from the start, didn't miss a protest for over 3 years. It was a wild time. Edit: Shout out to some real ones: Dasukips, DC50, Kitty, Blu, Pyro, GMG, RKD, BBG, Evie, Kookaburra, Tamphex & Those unnamed as it's been a minute. ✌

I followed anonymous from 2014, i was 14 at the time. I went to my first ever protest on November 5th 2015, it was the anonymous Million Mask March protest. I was never a hacker, barely tech literate really, but it shaped my way of engaging with the world and in the UK anonymous had close ties to pre existing political movements like occupy, antifa, and homeless outreach.

They split into many different hacktivist groups. Also I guess I should say this. I as a 15 year old used low orbit ion cannon not even understand what I as doing. Then within a week the FBI came to my house. They talked with me and my mom. But nothing past that really happened cause I wasnt the one doing dam. to the server's. I didn't even have to go to court. but it was enough to scare me from doing that again....... Well until I learn how to be Anon online and not the group.

[@nullx8]

that paints a so different picture than what the general public sees about anonymous ... great docu/interview !

[@dead-claudia]

nowadays anonymous-affiliated groups also do a ton of charity and stuff, too. it's very much not all just hacking everyone without abandon

[@nullx8]

[@steve293]

I legitimately admire their relationship, especially in a world where so much has devolved into what the individual wants and needs and how the other prevents it. It's refreshing to see two people who dont separate their needs and wants to those of their partners. It seems so obvious that a relationship consists of embracing the The individual as a whole. Unfortunately it's rather seldomly seen.

Anonymous has played a significant role in bringing several good people to power. Without protests like these and the bold ideas from ordinary individuals, many future injustices might go unchecked. We must continue to care in this way, ensuring that no one escapes accountability for their actions. The Internet, one of humanity's greatest inventions, is often seen as something that can be controlled. However, it should not be controlled but rather carefully regulated to protect its openness and integrity.
