Remember The Fifth Of November


In 1605, Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the English Parliament.  This year, the Guy Fawkes mask-adopting Anonymous plan to destroy Facebook. I await the launch of the all-out assault that they say will bring down the social network with equal parts morbid curiousity and excitement.


UPDATE:  Apparently, there is no war on social media - unless it get carried out by a splinter cell. The Anonymous Twitter feed confirmed this, and an IRC member added, "Anonymous is a mindset not a group. Mindsets do not have leaders. With any given operation there are always some who agree and some who disagree. Anyone is allowed to create an op. Annoymous allows each person individually to vote on each operation, a yes vote means they participate, a no vote means they do not."
