Have Anonymous Evolved Into A Channel For The Social Conscience Of The World?
By Darker Net Admin
Source: Darker Net
Tuesday, April 02, 2013
Self-deprecating as they are, Anonymous would be the last to agree with the assertion that as a champion for revolutionary change they have evolved into nothing less than a channel for the social conscience of the world. Yet, time and time again, Anonymous have stepped in where, literally, governments fear to tread (below, we provide just a handful of the many campaigns Anonymous have spearheaded over the last two years). Thus, people in power are right to fear Anons not because of their hacking skills, but because they express values that governments only pretend to espouse and by their deeds expose the moral bankruptcy of those governments to the world. And this is why governments and major corporations will do everything in their power to thwart, imprison and even kill Anonymous most prominent activists, while at the same time cynically exploit the fruits of Anonymous endeavours for their own commercial or strategic gain.

and will leave no stone unturned. That means they will be mimicking Anon but for the Dark Side. We should prepare for this eventuality.
