Notorious hacker group Anonymous has previously stated its intentions to shutdown the Internet on Saturday, March 31st, as a form of protest. “To protest SOPA, Wallstreet, our irresponsible leaders and the beloved bankers who are starving the world for their own selfish needs out of sheer sadistic fun, on March 31, anonymous will shut the Internet down,

I think this is great.. Anonymous is making it obvious that the people hold power just like the Government does.

They said they're not gonna take it out completely, just take it down to show a point that otherwise would not be listened to.. more power to them. I'm glad that SOME PEOPLE with power are actually doing something instead of standing on a street with a sign.

The internet is one of the biggest things in the world today, and for them to do this would be incredibly remarkable, and really prove a point to be looked at by the Government and even the people.

The people should not fear the government, the government should fear its people.

"On Friday, February 10th, Anonymous claimed responsibility for taking down the Central Intelligence Agency's website for more than 5 hours."

I support them....(ideologically) 

 

[nawghtyhare]

I thought they were suppose to be for the people? wouldnt that be against the people especially the ones who pay for internet access? what about the students doing research for homework and need internet access?

I'm sorry, but how do any of those individual successes show that they could shut down the whole Internet?

You seem to be incredibly gullible. I remember you being one of those fully in support of Invisible Children in the Kony thread.

 

[sleaze jar omens]

not all anons are participating. it was started by UK anons as a joke but now apparently they want to go through with it. theyre not shutting down the net though. if they go through with this it will be blown out of proportion and I do not support this in any way...

We will see

Actually, this is a vulnerability that has been identified and could be catastrophic, but it is generally dismissed as something not to worry about because the general public doesn't really have the first clue about anything when it comes to computer networking and the likely hood for the coordination for such an attack hasn't really existed up until now. Anonymous actually started doing more than just DDOS attacks on random websites and so things might actually get real over at IANA.

To put it simply; shutting down the internet (as the commonfolk know it) is very possible and would only require the disabling of approximately 13 servers in the entire world.
