But pertaining to this thread what about those who support anonymous' actions, that is justifiable that those supports can fall into that category. A group is measured by their most vocal and active part not by their majority. It may sound odd but that is what people pay attention to.

No, it's not justifiable and it's fallacy by association. I don't measure all religious people by the Westboro Baptist Church. Maybe you do. Maybe you think it's "justifiable", but don't speak for all of us. In fact if you do think that, then just don't speak at all, judging from the fallacies, untruths, and plain falsehoods you've spewed all over this thread I think we'd all be for the better.

For instance, claiming that Wikileaks has commited some crime. Even the Justice Department is having a hard time making that claim, so I don't know where you're basing those accusations from. Or thinking that receiving information is somehow an illegal act. That's so bizarre I'm not even sure how that's supposed to make sense in the first place.

I really admire the guy and I think he serves the people of the world thro his work on wikileaks, and so does anon, creating the fear of "popular" backlash against NGO underdogs.

This is the age of information and we are seeing a high tech virtual war over information.

To Anon, attacking wikileaks is like attacking switzerland, they are neutral, its a friggin crime, and something must be done to it.

And im sure all MS users and shareholders and very sad their website is down, well im glad, I like to see a circus on fire, too bad we dont have many of these recently.

He's a journalist who believes in an idea firmly, and is wanted for publishing stuff not meant to the public with an excuse for "rape" on Sweden *which I believe to be complete bullshit*.

This was sarcasm....
(In reply to what the other guy spooting nonsense about Assange getting high off pissing people)

The accusations of rape in Sweden shouldnt really be brought up in this topic, when I typed it I knew I might be making a mistakes (because I knew some people would bring it up)

I was not saying that I think he didnt rape these women, that I dont know, the justice will decide, I was just trying to make an ''general uninformed statement'' to continue in the other guys line of thought.

4chan will go to such lengths as closing down a site! Be afraid! Be very, very afraid!

4chan is so overrated, they do a few things here and there, nothing special, and they think of themselves as defenders of freedom or something. Considering the kind of stuff posted on 4chan i'm surprised they havent closed down their own site yet.

Of course it does harm, but MasterCard is nothing like Amazon. They aren't peddling wares online.

I dont think you fully undestand the potential destruction that could be created from closing down a website, especially with the current tensions in the economy.

Some companies could lose millions of dollars if their website got closed for a day or two.

4chan nowadays are filled with retards and social outcasts, but among them, there are ppl that know what they're doing. You obviously haven't been around ~5 years ago, I don't think you know how many people's lives they fucked over.

MasterCard stated that online transactions should not be affected. Presumably their website being down only affects the ability of people to access the services provided on that website. And I imagine there is no effect whatsoever on MasterCard transactions in the real world. People are really exaggerating the damages caused by Anonymous here. I'd be more concerned with PayPal being down than any of these other websites.

i find it strange how people have started to rally around wikileaks. it's a nice resource sure but i don't think many people understand how it can also be extremely dangerous. classified information remains classified for a reason, sometimes it's because of corruption or sometimes it can just be embarrassing information. on the other hand, the information that is being leaked and also endanger lives and cause international instability. leaking that china doesn't see n.korea as a particularly useful ally sounds great but things like that that are said in private between china and another country shouldn't just be out there because some asshole decides everyone needs to know the "truth".

i remember once wikileaks even leaked it's own donors list and people we lauding it for staying true to the purpose of the site. to me that sounds really retarded because it can directly compromise peoples' lives if say some totalitarian government decided it didn't like you doing that because wikileaks reveals confidential information about it.

truth isn't some omnipotent all curing concept. sometimes truth has consequences.

I don't think you've been following Wikileaks for very long. Wikileaks has leaked massive amounts of documents from other nations besides The United States of America.

A simple perusal of Wikipedia's article on Wikileaks proves this to be true.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. What about that woman who IN A VIDEO, without any tags or leading name, kicked a cat. They found her from the footage and ruined her life for a month lol.
