The one-fifth of November : the Clarence Day Guy Fawkes attempt to screw up up the English Parliament in 1605 , and the day Anonymous threatens to destroy Facebook in 2011 .
A video recording jam sack from a purported member of the hacker group claims there will be an all - out violation that mean solar day that will wreak down your favorite social mesh . Anonymous has singled out Facebook for its umbrageous privacy stage setting and for how hard it is for users to delete their account .
Facebook , the voice - garbled rhetorician pronounce , “ gives user the conjuring trick of ( privacy ) and conceal the particular away from them “ for their own good ” while they then make millions off of you . ” When all is say and done , the group exact people will give thanks Anon for saving them from the evils of Zuck ’s empire .

Update : Sources we ’ve spoken to inside Anonymous ’ IRC have frame some heavy , great doubt upon the authenticity of#OpFacebook . Unlike Anonymous ’ major offence , which have the blessing of the collective ’s prominent operators , the Facebook takedown is more of a splinter simulated military operation . “ # OPFacebookis not endorsed by Anonops at this time , ” stated one extremity . The generally - reputable AnonOps Twitter feedconfirms as much . Another IRC member put it more distinctly :
Anonymous is a mindset not a group . mentality do not have loss leader . With any given operation there are always some who agree and some who disaccord . With opFaceBook specifically there are those that match and those that dissent . Annoymous allow each person individually to vote on each operation , a yes vote mean they participate , a no voter turnout mean they do not . Anyone is allow to create an op and if others vote yes it will get traction and something may be accomplish .
Essentially , this is a turkey without a fountainhead . It ’s possible some members of Anonymous may seek to set on Facebook , but without the blessing and organization of Anonymous ’ master operators , it ’s doubtful Facebook will be scratched , much less destroy . Especially with months of forewarning .
you could keep up with Kelly Hodgkins , the author of this post , onTwitter , Google + orFacebook .
Update 2 : A fellow claiming to be the originator of#OpFacebooksays the whole matter was a fearful misunderstanding and misapprehension . In legal brief , the original programme to punish Facebook for drug user data storage spun out of his controller , fan by madcap groupie , misleading culture medium written report , and a full lack of organization . Sounds about right . ( Thanks , Adrian )
