I understand what you're saying, but these word games are just utter nonsense. Would it be more accurate to refer to them as SonyOps from now on? But wait a tick! Anyone who says they're SonyOps is SonyOps! So we run into the same problem as when we refer to the broader Anonymous. |
It doesn't matter what name you use. SonyOps, Anonymous, whatever. The problem is people talking about them as an organization with "members", when it's neither an organization nor does it have members...
Praising or criticizing Anonymous as an organization is pointless. Sometimes people can organize in groups to do things as "Anonymous", but it's just a temporary thing and does not represent the true "Anonymous".
However, you can praise or criticize the idea, because that's what it is. I interpret it as the idea that anyone can do their part in Internet activism or hacktivism against actual organizations which attempt to suppress freedom of information.
