Οι Anonymous θα καταστρέψουν το Facebook στις 5 Νοεμβρίου!! (βίντεο) - Hacker Group Anonymous Aims To Destroy Facebook on Nov. 5

 
«Remember, Remember the 5th of November ... Gunpowder, treason and plot ... I see no reason why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot...»


Εμπνευσμένοι από την ιστορία του Γκάι Φόουκς, ο οποίος προσπάθησε να ανατινάξει τη βουλή της Αγγλίας στις 5 Νοεμβρίου του 1605, η γνωστή ομάδα χάκερ, Anonymous, ανακοίνωσε την πρόθεσή της να καταστρέψει τη δημοφιλή ιστοσελίδα κοινωνικής ιστοσελίδας Facebook!

Με μήνυμά τους στο Youtube...
οι Anonymous μεταξύ άλλων αναφέρουν πως είναι ενοχλημένοι από τη διαδικασία διαγραφής των λογαριασμών των εκάστοτε χρηστών, κι αυτό διότι ακόμα κι αν κάποιος διαγράψει το λογαριασμό του, τότε οι πληροφορίες για την προσωπική του ζωή μένουν… ως προίκα στο δημοφιλέστερο Μέσο κοινωνικής δικτύωσης.

Σε άλλα σημεία της ανακοίνωσής τους λέγεται πως «το Facebook γνωρίζει περισσότερα για εσάς από την οικογένειά σας», όπως επίσης και ότι: 

«Στο τέλος, όλοι θα ευγνωμονούν τους Anonymous που σώθηκαν από το διαβολικό αυτό κοινωνικό δίκτυο»…

Σημειώνεται ότι έμβλημα των Anonymous είναι η γνωστή μάσκα που απεικονίζει τον Γκάι Φόουκς στo κόμικ (που αργότερα γυρίστηκε ταινία με τη Νάταλι Πόρτμαν) V for Vendetta. (http://24gr)

Hackivist group Anonymous vows to “kill Facebook” on November 5, citing users’ lack of choice in privacy as its reason for attack.
Update: Anonymous confirmed via a tweet that while some of its members are organizing the upcoming attack against Facebook, the hacker organization as a whole does not necessarily agree with the attack.
The group of hackers has claimed participation in just about every recent notable hacking attack of this year and successfully broke into 70 law enforcement websites and took down the Syrian Ministry of Defense website this week alone.
This recent interest in Facebook, despite a slew of privacy concerns raised against the social network since its founding, may be a result of Anonymous’s recent announcement that it plans to create its own social network, called AnonPlus. After the group’s Google+ account, called “Your Anon News,” was banned, it began fleshing out AnonPlus.com, “a new social network where there is no fear … of censorship … of blackout … nor of holding back.”
Below is a video and statement released by Anonymous explaining the reason for its upcoming battle with the world’s largest social network. Let us know your thoughts on the group’s statement in the comments below.

Anonymous Statement

Attention citizens of the world,
We wish to get your attention, hoping you heed the warnings as follows:
Your medium of communication you all so dearly adore will be destroyed. If you are a willing hacktivist or a guy who just wants to protect the freedom of information then join the cause and kill facebook for the sake of your own privacy.
Facebook has been selling information to government agencies and giving clandestine access to information security firms so that they can spy on people from all around the world. Some of these so-called whitehat infosec firms are working for authoritarian governments, such as those of Egypt and Syria.
Everything you do on Facebook stays on Facebook regardless of your "privacy" settings, and deleting your account is impossible, even if you "delete" your account, all your personal info stays on Facebook and can be recovered at any time. Changing the privacy settings to make your Facebook account more "private" is also a delusion. Facebook knows more about you than your family.

You cannot hide from the reality in which you, the people of the internet, live in. Facebook is the opposite of the Antisec cause. You are not safe from them nor from any government. One day you will look back on this and realise what we have done here is right, you will thank the rulers of the internet, we are not harming you but saving you.
The riots are underway. It is not a battle over the future of privacy and publicity. It is a battle for choice and informed consent. It's unfolding because people are being raped, tickled, molested, and confused into doing things where they don't understand the consequences. Facebook keeps saying that it gives users choices, but that is completely false. It gives users the illusion of and hides the details away from them "for their own good" while they then make millions off of you. When a service is "free," it really means they're making money off of you and your information.
Think for a while and prepare for a day that will go down in history. November 5 2011, #opfacebook . Engaged.
This is our world now. We exist without nationality, without religious bias. We have the right to not be surveilled, not be stalked, and not be used for profit. We have the right to not live as slaves.
We are anonymous
We are legion
We do not forgive
We do not forget
Expect us
