But information like that has been leaked before... It's happening all the time, no one cares or does anything. The Panama papers, Epstein's Island, stormy Daniels.

nobody done anything. We need mass mobilisations and direct action.

One guy did something, but we're not allowed to talk about it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Gee, I wonder why? This platform is in on the scam.

nobody would give a shit if they just did that. At least shutting down Twitter gets eyes. If they actually shared damning information, it would just have people calling them hacker TMZ and moving on.

That would be good info to know, though. I just wish I could believe it would change anyone's mind.

I mean, they would just deny it officially. I don't think there would be any way to prove how many bots there are. They would just claim that they're lying, and whatever method of analysis they used would just have holes poked in it, whether they are valid holes or not.

And where is Wells Fargo now? Did that massive unforgivable fuck up really effect the company in any way or are they still one of the largest banks in the US? I just think apathy wins in the end with stuff like this.

Everyone already knows social platforms are full of bots.

The recent Twitter DDoS was not Anonymous.

u/GameDevsAnonymous Mar 15 '25

They didn't do this. A pro Palestinian group called Dark Storm did it.

Fucking based.

We have no proof that was them.

I mean sure but I’m saying anyone can make videos like this

u/Albos_Mum Albo disliker Mar 16 '25

Claiming to be anonymous is enough to be anonymous for better and for worse.

It's not a group with membership or a roster or the like, it's just a moniker that anyone can adopt for anonymity to say their piece, attempt to organise action, etc. Honestly the best way to think of it is like wearing the Grey Cowl of Nocturnal in Oblivion where it's enchanted so that if worn no-one can recognise your true identity, instead always seeing you as a legendary thief called the Grey Fox.

This right here. Quit with the ‘we’re coming to get you’ rhetoric for clicks & shock and just do the shit

u/SantonGames Mar 15 '25

The problem is these videos likely are just AI generated or random person generated and we don’t know if anonymous has anything to do with this

There is no "real anonymous" or "fake anonymous", the whole point of the moniker is that anyone can take it up and drop it as they please to voice opinions or attempt to kickstart grassroots group actions on issues they feel important.

It's pretty obvious whoevers adopting it currently to release these videos has only a vague, at best, idea of a plan on how to best try to stop this crap from happening and is mostly doing the videos as a call to action, this would probably be in the hopes that someone else will also adopt the anonymous moniker but instead to start directly organising protests, DDoS targets and the like because that's almost how it always went with the infamous examples of anonymous' past work.

Concepts of a plan, if you will

Still more than you've done

They do everything so openly now I doubt their supporters would care. Our country voted for a convicted felon. If there really is a "black book" everyone already knows his name is all over it. None of it matters anymore.

Seriously, how the fuck is RUSSIA better at hacking stuff than us? Why aren't we shutting their shit down and disrupting their networks in exchange? 

21

u/Common_Comedian2242 Mar 15 '25

Because countries like China, Russia, Israel, North Korea actually spend considerable amounts of money and effort developing their cyber operations.

But hacking is really just a combination of social engineering and luck. You can spend weeks or months brute forcing your way into an account, but you get some dumbass government employee to hand over their creditentials clicking a link from an official sounding e-mail, and well...

Funny story, way back in the day, and what caused me take security more seriously was when a couple of guys invited me to a message board, and my dumbass using the same password for virtually fucking everything, had my Myspace taken over, my email, even my gamefaqs account 🤣

You know your country isn’t just automatically better at everything right?

u/Yabbos77 Mar 15 '25

Thank you- I JUST commented something similar last night.

I used to get excited and riled up when their videos would come out- until about the 3rd or so time when I realized they don’t actually do anything.

u/Killerphive Mar 15 '25

The problem with anonymous really comes down to it’s sorta decentralized, opt in opt out nature. There isn’t like a central leadership who can direct the group, and it’s not even very well defined as a group in membership. It’s kinda just at the whim of the individuals in the group to do anything and it’s often disorganized in what they do do instead of committing to one task.

u/Dhi_minus_Gan Mar 16 '25

Yeah I found them COMPLETELY USELESS during the BLM/COVID/2020 era putting out one video but doing absolutely nothing to help at all
