This last week in globalization we talked about the
hacktivist group anonymous. We watching a video on them called “We Are Legion”,
my feelings about this video are so up in the air and I don’t really know how
to feel about it. It is crazy to me that something that seems so harmless can
cause such disaster. People who are just sitting in their mother’s basement and
are bored can make a statement just by using technology. These people seem to think that the government
is hiding things from the rest of the society. This is where anonymous comes in
and tries to express freedom of speech and to have fairness. They would start
with internet pranks and as the technology increases they seem to be getting
bigger and stronger. Yes, they have done some bad things to protrude the
message. But I believe that their intentions can be positive as well. They seem
to just want the government to stay true to what they say. They want to inform
everyone that the government does wrong and what the government is planning and
acting. I liked how they shut down the
racist guys radio station! They used what they do in a positive way instead of
a negative way. That man clearly deserved what he got.
I posted this website because there is a video on there that
helped me understand a little bit more about what’s going on. This explains
what they are doing and plan to do. It also shows that the government believes
that they are powerful enough to shut down the internet. They also talk about how
they want to be in the eye of the public. It seems it will be are to advertise this
if the power will be shut down. Which would just conclude into making people
mad.
