Who is "Anonymous"?
Who is "Anonymous"?
This group obviously wields serious power in the world thru cyber....who exactly are they? Where do they get financing? Do they have a doctrine or constitution of sorts?
The censorship king from out of state.
Re: Who is "Anonymous"?
Programmers make quite a bit of money, and often have free time to do good in this world. They don't need lots of money vs lots of mental horsepower and time. If this group decided to help people rather than argue in ad nauseam, we could be pretty influential, as most people here are pretty sharp.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(hacker_group)Anonymous is a decentralized international activist- and hacktivist collective and movement primarily known for its various cyberattacks against several governments, government institutions and government agencies, corporations and the Church of Scientology.
Anonymous originated in 2003 on the imageboard 4chan representing the concept of many online and offline community users simultaneously existing as an "anarchic", digitized "global brain" or "hivemind".[2][3][4] Anonymous members (known as anons) can sometimes be distinguished in public by the wearing of Guy Fawkes masks in the style portrayed in the graphic novel and film V for Vendetta.[5] Some anons also opt to mask their voices through voice changers or text-to-speech programs.

Re: Who is "Anonymous"?
Fat doofuses who have done nothing but hang out in outdated IRCs for the past 15 years.
Really though, there is about 5% of people who claim involvement with "anonymous" who are capable of doing anything more than sitting in chatrooms, whining about bullshit, but the small percent who are capable include people who can really cause some disruption. The other 95% are idiots who just like to talk, among them, about the most actual activity you will get from them is doxing people who are easy to dox or collecting info that is easily obtained by cracking weak passwords because of weak security, and then saving it on public or semi-public locations like pastebin or backwater image boards that do not require log-ins. More or less, most of the time you see "anonymous" did something, it was because of poor security at some point in the chain, specifically because of horrible log-in protocol or human factors. Also, anonymous isn't an organized thing, but there is an informal structure to a degree where some usernames carry more weight than others. But when you see "anonymous" was involved in something, it was likely a project of a small cell of dopes who met in IRC or some federated platform like riot or matrix.
As for funding, I know that some people who have clout grift and some others actually have their own money, especially now, because of the crypto-boom. But anything like that is more just for their personal enjoyment, they have their own resources or create them from what I know. Some will actually trade hardware with one another, so yea they're totally anonymous, lol..
As for a doctrine? I would more say they believe they have a loose ethos, where they like to say they value knowledge and that where people or businesses do wrong, exposing them will lead to the court of public opinion bringing them down to the appropriate level. As a whole, because there's no gatekeeping to saying youre "anonymous", the majority of people who claim affiliation are cringy internet dipshits, there's a lot of script kiddies who are LARPing as EPIC HACKER MAN, some shut-ins who will spend hours/days/weeks perfecting a dox, and a handful of actually capable people, some of who exploit the unwashed masses at the bottom by "seeking their financial support".
