Since its inception, the internet has provided new ways for people all over the world to exercise the rights of free speech, freedom of the press and freedom of assembly. These rights are not simply the benefits of a free society--they are the very means of preserving that society's freedom. The recent increase in government interference with these freedoms coincides with the failure of the corporate media to fulfill their vital role in checking the abuse of authority. Censorship and journalistic abdication have left citizens unaware and unable to hold their governments accountable.
WikiLeaks has moved to fill the void left by traditional news media, providing the necessary information for citizens to hold their governments to account. Yet it has not been granted the legal protections generally afforded to journalists. Instead, the organization has been vilified and monetary support has been blocked by governments and private corporations. The vitriol aimed at WikiLeaks demonstrates an unsettling disregard for the fundamental freedom to exchange information and express ideas. Members of a free society must not allow information to be suppressed simply because it inconveniences those in power. We share the responsibility to defend vital liberties. The time to act is now.
We are Anonymous, a leaderless movement that has worked tirelessly to oppose all forms of Internet censorship worldwide, from DMCA abuses to government mandated content filters. Our initiatives include supporting dissenting groups in Iran, Zimbabwe and Tunisia, as well as waging the highly visible information battle against the Church of Scientology. We are now prepared to take the fight to the world stage. Join us on January 15th for the first in a series of global protests in defense of WikiLeaks and freedom of expression. Stand with us to defend your freedoms.
We Are Anonymous And So Are You

so, it looks like the internet actually has its own movement to save itself finally.

and to think, 4chan would create this out of vitriol and racism comes something possibly 'noble'.

A lot of 4chan can't stand all this anonymous nonsense. I don't think most people on 4chan are necessarily racist. I think they just like offending people... still hate them.

[Delenda Carthago]

Anon are racist?

[Crimson Commissar]

Anon are racist?
They do throw around a lot of racist and sexist terms, but really, 4chan is notorious for it's trolling. I doubt many anons are actual racists or sexists.

The lameness and utter bourgeois character of anon is apparent in the targets they chose - they'd rather fight the church of scientology than protest citigroup, and witness their "principled" stand note here against (admittedly crummy) regimes detested by the US ruling elite like Zimbabwe and Iran - although apparently they're trying to jump on the Tunisia bandwagon.

Every generation there are groups that try to make themselves out to be an edgy voice of opposition that really just serve as massive echo chambers for the status quo and the ruling class agenda.

They are a joke, and their utter inability to speak to concerns of the working class or even their tiny privileged constituency means they will fizzle out in a year or two.

On second thought, even that is giving them way too much credit. There is nothing to fizzle out with them.
