Remember them? The loose knit hacker group that went after governments and businesses that were attacking privacy, speech, and other things. I have not heard very much about Anonymous at all since the 2016 elections. I would imagine they would be trying to get information to damage Trump and his cronies just for their blatant corruption and attempts at suppressing speech and the press but I haven't heard a peep. I just find it odd.

(11,744 posts)I guess it makes sense with such a loose affiliation that there would be splits along ideological lines. I remember that they had come out against Trump, but as the article said, they just disappeared.

(38,326 posts)... yet I will never say it was "half kidding / half serious."
I do know I hurt some people, friends and family and random acquaintances, really bad.

(73,602 posts)I believe that the people who started it (with one older fellow playing point) were intent upon injecting confusion into the rabid republican ranks before the 2018 elections. By that date, it had taken off, with a variety of fools from the alt-right trying to take it over. Mission accomplished. They are bat-shit crazy.
