ANON OPS: A Press Release
December 10, 2010
Who is Anonymous
In their most recent public statement, WikiLeaks is the only group of people to identify Anonymous correctly. Anonymous is not a group,but rather an Internet gathering. Both Anonymous and the media that is covering it are aware of the percieved dissent between individuals in the gathering. This does not, however, mean that thecommand structure of Anonymous is failing for a simple reason: Anonymous has a very loose and decentralized command structure that operates on ideas rather than directives.

We are now in the process of better communicating some core values to the individual atoms that comprise Anonymous- we also want to take this opportunity to communicate a message to the media, so that the average Internet Citizen can get to know who we are and what we represent.

We do not want to steal yourpersonal information or credit card numbers. We also do not seek to attack critical infrastructure of companies such as Mastercard, Visa, PayPal or Amazon. Our current goal is to raise awareness aboutWikiLeaks and the underhanded methods employed by the above companies to impair WikiLeaks' ability to function.

It is asymbolic action - as blogger and academic Evgeny Morozov put it, a legitimate expression of dissent.
