Alright guys, let's see some stimulating conversation.
Anonymous is planning on taking Facebook.
I personally am not on facebook, nor will I be.
But I want to know your opinions, has Anon gone too far, or are they righteous?
Is their modus operandi a good thing, or are they in need of a serious attitude check?
Is anon the night of shining armor of the internet, or the Axis of the interwebs?
DISCUSS.

I hope they do it for the lulz.

I'm on Facebook, but don't go on it much. I think I'll sit back, grab some popcorn, and watch things unfold.

who is anonymous and why does he keep attacking websites

I just…I don't care. I go on it, but I really don't care. The games are terrible, my family insists on pestering me, and if they send me any more invites to farmville or whatever the crap I'm going to send them all to hell.

Turns out I wasn't too lazy to make that into an image.

Well I don't have a Facebook so…

I don't really care. I'll just go to school with popcorn and look at everybody if it happens. I have Google+ anyways.

I doubt they'll be able to get in. It's Facebook; they're the biggest social network on the internet, and I'm positive they'll have the best security on the internet as well. Facebook didn't acquire the personal information of over 500 million people to let Anonymous leak it and destroy their credibility.

To put it another way, it's like V trying to destroy the Death Star. It's virtually impossible, unless, of course, Anon can find a small thermal exhaust point.

Oh man, it's alright if they hack government servers and websites, but they TOUCH OUR FARMVILLES?!?!

IT'S ON!

Going after Facebook? If it's over privacy, the Facebook could use a good takedown. Not the people on Facebook, mind you, but Facebook itself, and its fat cats.
Fuckerburg could use a lesson.

I agree.

Fuckerburg, that's a good one. I don't really want to take sides; so long as my personal information is not threatened, I'm content to sit back and watch this silliness unfold.

Anon hadn't thought of the fact that most of the 50 million people on facebook aren't aware of the rest of the Internet. Social networks are a whole different deal from scientology and corrupt government.
Next thing we know there will be moms staring at the ceiling because her farm was taken by the "Annunimuuse" or something.

They are certainly aware of this. Which is why they will do it for MAXIMUM LULZ.

Sure, app invitations are annoying, but I moved recently and now I won't be able to talk to half my friends on facebook, I don't know them on any other sites. :( This is depressing.

I don't get the point. People voluntarily sign up for facebook. We choose to give this information away.

If you do some looking in to it, you'll realize that FB has a number of nasty ways that they destroy our privacy without our even knowing it. I ranted about it in a thread here several months ago, and while I can't find the thread, here's the article that sparked it:

There is some really F-ed up stuff in there.
