If Anonymous is making life difficult for the US government or any other government that continually tries to find new ways to regulate the internet (of which they have NO jurisdiction), then I am all for it. The internet should be completely free, open, and unregulated. If you support government censorship of the internet, curfews, or anything else that tells a person they cannot access something on the internet that they want to, then you are an authoritarian, and therefore, part of the problem.

Taking down some Congressman's site that advocates SOPA is one thing. Taking down the White House website, also funny. But taking down whole nodes of the internet is just destructive and counter intuitive. Also, while you may not like the CIA and NSA, attacking them directly adds fuel to the fire for them to have greater control over the internet. I would be fine if all Anonymous did was wreak havoc on the White House's website, and aggravate Congress and Senate, all those idiots deserve it. Taking down the CIA website just invites more censorship, that is just dumb. I am not supporting government censorship, but perhaps in my mania to decry the actions of Anonymous, I came off as if I was, this is not the case.
