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. http://www.physorg.com/news170614271.html http://itgrunts.com/2010/10/07/faceb...-from-your-iph....

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

I for one am looking forward to not having facebook for all of 10 minutes.

[Correction]

What's this, another childish prank guaranteed to fail at effecting lasting change? 4chan has an unbroken streak to protect I guess.

Ditto, it'll be like the post-tsunami month without FFXI, I actually got a lot of stuff done around the house!

ORLY? There's proof of this?

Since when has "Anonymous" needed proof to be stupid/ineffective? Or stupidly ineffective?
They should stick to closing Pools.

[Ksandra]

I know anonymous doesn't control itself, BUT is this really an anon thing or just some random douche trying to freak people out?


Reason I ask is that iirc Anon helped send people in Egypt documents during the riots, which were all organized through facebook. A lot of what they sent was spread to people via facebook so...this just seems off.

Not saying I'm surprised 'cause 4chan will do weird and random shit. Just curious mostly.


Also, what info is the gov't getting that people care about? That you got drunk on friday night?

[Zetanio]

This is retarded. Move along.

[Diamicles]

it's a ploy to get more google+ users

I wonder

I meant everyday people.

I doubt the average facebook user cares what they (gov't) saw considering it was things anon wanted people to see.

[Draginhikari]

Why would Facebook need to sell information to any 3rd party? Most people are more the willing to make things like that public on their system for free.

[Outlaw]

They were talking about this on CNN earlier. They even showed the anonymous logo were trying to make them sound all scary. lol It gave me a good chuckle.
