Governments all over the world are sparing no effort to discover and prosecute members of Anonymous. It only makes sense. After all they do patently illegal things like launching DOS attacks against sites they don’t like or have a grievance with. Clearly bad guys who deserve no leniency.
Except, it turns out that governments are doing the same things. Not only are they doing the same things they claim it’s perfectly justified in the pursuit of justice. Why should their hands be tied, after all?
Yes, but they’re going after bad guys so it’s justified. Actually not. There appears to be a lot of innocent bystanders suffering too. This particular case comes from Britain so I’m not as familiar with the legal system but it’s hard to see how they can justify doing things for which they jail others. Just remember this the next time your government is in high dungeon about those criminal hackers sullying our sacred Internet.
