Don't take this the wrong way, but do you get paid to post these insightful little one liners in every Lulz/Anon/Whatever thread now or is HN just a private curiosity for you? Judging from the language you used in the only actual text you posted so far I'm assuming you're a law enforcement professional. I'm actually OK with sock puppet accounts but you could make a more interesting case on behalf of your employer instead of just throwing blanket statements around.
His account was created 106 days ago and has 7 posts, 4 of which are about Anon/Lulz. From this you conclude that he is a sock puppet paid by someone (the FBI?) to lead us astray with his constant one liners. Seems like a stretch, but hey that's just me.
I'm not saying he's leading anyone astray. But I do think it's a sock puppet account, yes. Just not a very effective one, that's why I made the mistake of trying to provide some feedback. But hey, that's just me.
Not a sock puppet, sorry to disappoint. Should I say more? I think "do no harm" applies when you claim to be an activist. I can't justify an attack as a protest or retaliation against governments, corporations who act contrary to the public interest, fundamentalists, or individual sock puppets when you harm others by disclosing personal information, disrupting business, etc. The fact that you want to "out" someone or some organization and you can't find a legal way to do it doesn't justify doing whatever you decide is the best course of action. And if you do decide to break the law in protest, perhaps you might consider manning up and identifying yourself like Ghandi or King.
Thanks for getting back to this, and for the clarification. So there is someone at home after all ;-) Btw, I get where you're coming from, and I don't disagree with you on this subject.
