so then why did you say just a few posts up that "nobody is tricked into it", yes they are, many people's computers are being hacked into and being used for attacks that they are unaware of. why did you deny it?
protesting is fine in my opinion, but hijacking people that have no interest in the protest, subjecting thousands of people to legal action and persecution that have nothing to do with it, that's just wrong.
If Anonymous wants to do something, they should do it based on a moral code, hijacking others for their cause is wrong. It negates their own cause by forcing others to do their bidding when they claim to be fighting for more individual freedoms.
If Anonymous can't even hold themselves to the same moral codes that they are trying to hold governments to, or businesses to, then why should we listen to them?
