Ask HN: Thoughts on Anonymous

2 pointsGeneric_Name2 comments

I was just curious as to how some of the tech community views the group.

Anonymous seems (to me) mainly to be attention-seekers. I'm not convinced that their DDOS attacks on various sites actually accomplish anything, other than to make the server admins' lives hell until the sites are back up. Further, there are legal avenues for the kinds of protest Anonymous claims to support.

This is just my two cents' worth, and more than likely isn't representative of the rest of HN.

>I agree

I don't support Anonymous because I don't discount or disagree with concepts. I only discount implementations and Anonymous has no implementation to address the valid problems their enemies have solved in their own way.
