Anonymous tweets for hack targets

Who do we go after next? asks V-masqued mob

Hacktivist guild Anonymous has taken to Twitter to ask followers for tips on who the group should attack next.

Still reeling over the arrest of Megaupload mogul Kim Dotcom, Anonymous posted the following tweet:

After several people suggested the group throws punches at social network sites, it responded:

“Lulz at people saying we would take down Twitter, FaceBook,and YouTube… Why would Anon take down how we send our messages?”

Anonymous has vowed to keep the recent flurry of attacks a regular occurrence until Dotcom is released.

“Support TBP, Torrents, Magnets, Megaupload and its alternatives. Support file-sharing. Legal or not. It is our right,” tweets Sabu, a well-known Anonymous hacker.

The war goes on. ®

I did not avoid the argument, I simply do not like the use of the work "pirate" or "piracy" for infringement. In the same way that I do not like the use of the word "hack" or "hacker" for the breaching of security (that'd be "crack" or "cracker").

Err?

He's pretty much 100% dead on, from where I stand.

Anonymous did some important work with COS, but I have lost any respect for them with their running around the Internet virtually smashing up anything they can "for teh lulz".
