In theory, they could be a highly efficient group of people dedicated to good in the world. However, this may not be the case. With every hacker possibly having their own personal agenda and nobody to oversee them/suspend hackers who don't play by the rules... what might happen?<br /><br />Also, it could very well be possible that everybody in a group like Anonymous might have the same goal in mind, but the goal might be malicious or even evil. There's been plenty of groups banded together in the past that possessed a like goal, but that doesn't mean it was good goal. Take the Nazi party and the KKK as examples.<br /><br />Rebels can be good, bad, unorganized, organized, etc. There are so many possibilities that you just never know.slapshot6819https://www.blogger.com/profile/12453800524145625228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210648537465444087.post-61605212671049539442011-03-20T18:53:36.644-04:002011-03-20T18:53:36.644-04:00You say that Hactivism is positive 9 out of 10 tim...You say that Hactivism is positive 9 out of 10 times, what about the 1 of 10. Why are we going to let people hurt that portion of the population freely, for the good of the majority. I thought we were over that as a society. We need to create rules for 100% of the population.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806920557579458374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210648537465444087.post-26614977308073831802011-03-20T11:14:20.870-04:002011-03-20T11:14:20.870-04:00Anonymity is the pussification of society.

But do you think the biggest issue is how people might react to the information Anonymous posts? Anonymous is simply taking information it knows and making it available to anyone who cares to read it. Thinking about it that way means that the regular, every-day citizens are the one making it a bad thing, because they either don't react to something important, or they OVER react and skew the real meaning of what Anonymous posts.Sasha Hudakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622013737941761815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210648537465444087.post-12595962176238876402011-03-18T10:12:02.823-04:002011-03-18T10:12:02.823-04:00The way you describe Anonymous reminds me of milit...The way you describe Anonymous reminds me of militias. They are both ready to protect citizens from the government if the need arises. Like you said, it sounds good in theory. Though I think it might become dangerous if things get out of control.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043805367784744475noreply@blogger.com
