OK. Thanks. I can see how, say, China, Apple, or our own beloved CIA
might credibly adopt something like this as a tactic. Is it solely a
corporate/state tactic? Or do you think a group like anonymous or the
syrian electronic army could pull it off?
Anonymous already has and they are going to kick everyone's ass... let's
just hope they don't lose their aesthetic
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lulz#Variations_on_the_theme>and I suppose
"ethic" <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickster> when they take over the
banking system and the power grid. I'm guessing that someone should
train a facial recognition scanner on Guy Fawkes (masks) and run
chipsets through it under a microscope.
I'm sure someone studies Anonymous (and it's relations... LOLZSec, et
al) relatively objectively (not just as "a dangerous terrorist
organization" or "the best thing since sliced bread"). Time weighed in
last year giving them a seat in their "top 100 most influential people
<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/18/time-100-voters-love-anonymous-time-editors-dont_n_1435461.html>"
.
But since there is no "there, there", who knows?
