Foo Posted August 10, 2011 http://www.inquisitr.com/133489/anonymous-says-it-is-planning-to-destroy-facebook-%E2%80%9Cthe-medium-of-communication-you-all-so-dearly-adore-the-hacktivist-group-has-posted-a-warning-on-youtube-announcing-its-plan-to-kill/ Hacking group Anonymous has announced that on November 5 they will destroy Facebook, “the medium of communication you all so dearly adore.”Posted in a YouTube video the group says they will “kill” Facebook on Nov. 5 while claiming they are doing it for “Your own privacy”, while adding, “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.” The group continues: “Everything you do on Facebook stays on Facebook regardless of your ‘privacy’ settings, and deleting your account is impossible,” while adding, “One day you will look back on this and realize what we have done here is right.” Apparently the groups plans don’t sit well with at least part of their group who have begun publicly distancing themselves from the “kill Facebook” campaign. Facebook programmers vs. Anonymous hackers? This could easily turn into a pay per view event that could rival top UFC fights. I know Anonymous likes to think they are doing everything for the good of society, but I know my privacy is being sold and I could care less, users who don’t like Facebook can simply disconnect and if enough users take that route Facebook won’t be killed by some lines of programming code, it will be killed because the people have spoken. Id be interested to see if they can pull it off. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeroicDose Posted August 10, 2011 When posts and comments start showing up from years ago on the side of the page you know that absolutely no information is deleted from FB. I would like to get rid of it, but I don't have money to buy credit for my phone so it would make contacting people very difficult.. Having said that, if they managed to kill facebook, I wouldn't really mind too much. I imagine there will be some monitors thrown from the window that day though.

Foo Posted August 10, 2011 if anonymous can ddos attack sony , citibank , visa , and government owned websites.... then FB would be a piece of cake to them..... Facebook gets more traffic then everything you mentioned combined. DDOS is about overwelming a server with demenands. A service such as facebook is set up to take more "demands" then you would think is funny. Also the new "weapon" is not a DDOS machine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qualia Posted August 10, 2011 pff - if past efforts are to go by (and Dr. Phil says they are), this'll just cause mild disruption for a few hours/days then everything will be back to normal. besides with google+ set to become more popular than facebook, i suppose this is fairly pointless.

Distracted Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) I'll remember. Forasmuch as almighty God hath in all ages showed his power and mercy in the miraculous and gracious deliverance of his church, and in the protection of religious kings and states, and that no nation of the earth hath been blessed with greater benefit than this kingdom now enjoyeth, having the same true and free profession of the gospel under our most gracious sovereign lord King James, the most great learned and religious king that ever reigned therein, enriched with a most helpful and plentiful progeny proceeding out of his royal loins promising continuance of this happiness and profession to all posterity: the which many malignant and devilish papists, Jesuits, and seminary priests much envying and fearing, conspired most horribly, when the king's most excellent majesty, the queen, the prince, and the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, should have been assembled in the upper house of Parliament upon the fifth day of November in the year of our lord 1605 suddenly to have blown up the said house with gunpowder, an invention so inhuman, barbarous and cruel, as the like was never before heard of. Anonymous are awesome trolls; They're hosting an event on the eve of a failed political plot, this is just my kind of irony.
