Hello Tara, welcome. I'll be adding anonymising ways while hacker culture progresses to the shadow web, a web that is community owned and user controlled. All run on distributed servers, run by and for the people.

What anonymous is? We all are anonymous, if only in the eyes of powers-that-are for whom we are nothing more than numbers, or at best, sheeple to be manipulated by fear mongering, language spin and material benefits from arrogated and appropriated resources by the powers-that-are.The air we breathe is still free tho!

Anonymous has been and is attractive to people for various reasons, and it has been changing a lot over the last year, as new people added their truth and actions. But at the core it is hacktivism and therefor major lulz with a long history of pranking and excellent humour for making a point.

Most activism in the past was doing "anti-something" and it just got gobbled up and integrated by the system. Lulz is different. It makes fun of both for and anti in sometimes subtle form, sometimes in less subtle form like putting up fake websites (parodies), DDoS (virtual sit-ins on the web), DNS redirections, site defacements (butthurts, bitchslaps) etc.

Of course there is also some more serious stuff going on such as spying by corporations and governments, and censorship and serious infringements of human rights, that are often done secretly and/or covered up after the fact by the powers-that-are. Protecting private data and revealing public data has been and still is a meme in hacker culture for a long time now ...

I will upload the infographics depicting a little of anonymous history, and some links to articles by Biella Coleman, an anthropologist that has been studying hacker culture and anonymous for many years, and some articles from others as well.

Maybe that's a start?

Thank you James. I am rearranging the GI site and will feed an RSS. In more detail, I am ending the separation between anonymiss and anonymous on the GI site (grin). The GI sites have been under constant attack today, so progress is slow, giggle.

Thanks for joining! I made the group with members needing approval first. W e have a few folks on site that may come here otherwise to disrupt the group or to voice their fears on anons . I believe there are ample places on the site where this can be done other than here :)  I personally do not quite understand the movement, yet tend to want to be part of it. I appreciate, as well as support anyone tasked with taking truth to power...James
