They have waged a digital war against ISIS and recently replaced the terrorist group's website with a Viagra ad. They wear Guy Fawkes masks and have members from all over the world. Their goals are still unclear to me. I know they are government watchdogs and activists. They oppose Internet censorship. Other than that, I don't know much about them but if they messed up the ISIS website, they are okay in my book. What do you all think about Anonymous?

True - I don't like war of any kind.

@suziecat7 The west backed Saddam Hussein because they didn't like Iran. They backed the Taliban to get the Russians out of Afghanistan. They backed Gaddaffi because he was a rather more secular leader than his neighbours (ignoring that he was an evil, violent despot who treated his people any way he wanted to. And of course, they baked Assad until they didn't and then they did again. Here we go all over again.

@boiboing - You're right, of course. It's all about politics and money with little thought to the sometimes dire consequences.

I frequently find myself rooting for Anonymous. In this instance, doubly so. Anything that handicaps DAESH (as I prefer to call ISIS or ISiL) is good in my book. The digital attacks can have very long range effects.
