Anonymous Plans Gunpowder Treason

Privacy, in the age of the internet when finding information on someone can be as simple as plugging that individual’s name into a search engine, is a fuzzy concept. It’s engendered much debate as to what are appropriate practices with users’ information, and when functionality must cede to privacy. Anonymous has very strong views on this issue, and takes the matter into their own hands. For those who would agree with them, perhaps that makes them vigilantes fighting for justice. For the rest, though, for whom the issue is either less prevalent in the mind or who disagree with the group, their activities border on cyber-terrorism.
