For far too long, Anonymous has stood by with the rest of the world and watched in despair the barbaric, brutal and despicable treatment of the Palestinian people in the so called “Occupied Territories” by the Israel Defense Force.
Le siège d’HADOPI à Paris taggué par Anonymous.
Amusante découverte ce matin du lundi 30 janvier 2012 en amenant mon gosse chez la nounou. Le siège d’HADOPI, dans le 14ème, rue du Texel, a été taggé par Anonymous dans la nuit. Vers 10h, l’entrée était barrée par des plots et des employés d’une société de nettoyage se préparaient à enlever le logo au pochoir et le tag écrit sur le trottoir, juste devant l’entrée, en grandes lettres rouges : “WE ARE LEGION”.
J’ai pu prendre des photos avec mon smartphone (merci mon gosse, dont je faisais mine de m’occuper pour être tranquille).
En repassant devant HADOPI un quart d’heure plus tard, cette fois les mains libres, je sors ostensiblement mon smartphone et je prends une dernière photo. A ce moment un gars en pull sort de l’accueil où il était avec quelques personnes, et vient vers moi, avec un air sévère et en regardant tout autour de lui, comme pour vérifier que nous étions seuls : “Vous ne devez pas prendre des photos, arrêtez ! Vous êtes de quel magazine d’abord ?”.
Je lui réponds, très calme : “Pardon ? Je suis dans la rue, sur un espace public, j’ai parfaitement le droit de prendre des photos de l’immeuble. Et je ne suis d’aucun magazine.” Il rétorque, énervé : “Mais alors pourquoi vous prenez des photos ? Pourquoi ? Vous voulez nous salir, c’est ça ? Qu’est-ce que vous allez en faire ?”.
Je réponds : “Pardon mais je peux bien avoir toutes les raisons que je veux, vous n’avez pas à le savoir. Et puis je n’ai aucune intention de vous salir, vous n’êtes qu’un employé, vous n’êtes pas responsable. En revanche, HADOPI, c’est autre chose… Vous voulez qu’on en cause ?”.
Après un temps d’arrêt à me dévisager, il recule et disparaît bientôt dans l’accueil de la Haute Autorité, tout en marmonnant un “mmm, ok, d’accord, d’accord, au revoir…” alors qu’il m’a déjà tourné le dos.

In the physical world, we have the right to print and sell books. Anyone trying to stop us would need to go to court. That right is weak in the UK (consider superinjunctions), but at least it exists. However, to set up a website we need the co-operation of a domain name company, an ISP, and often a hosting company, any of which can be pressured to cut us off. In the US, no law explicitly establishes this precarity. Rather, it is embodied in contracts that we have allowed those companies to establish as normal. It is as if we all lived in rented rooms and landlords could evict anyone at a moment’s notice.
States seek to imprison the Anonymous protesters rather than official torturers and murderers. The day when our governments prosecute war criminals and tell us the truth, internet crowd control may be our most pressing remaining problem. I will rejoice if I see that day.

"En ce qui concerne les développements à long terme de cette affaire, je pense que beaucoup dépend de si oui ou non la saga WikiLeaks continuera à être un débat sur la liberté d’expression, la transparence gouvernementale ou encore les dénonciateurs, ou bien si cela se transformera en dialogue quasi-paranoïaque sur les atteintes à la sécurité nationale. Les Anonymous jouent avec le feu car ils risquent de faire pencher la balance vers la seconde interprétation –et tous les leviers politiques qui vont avec."
"As Deleuze, then Agamben assert that power is the separation of the subject from potentiality, and as such mitigates dissent, the nation-state is trying to exert power by separating the means of support and the figurehead from Wikileaks, but distributed, asymmetrical cyberwarfare by the net.community has already disrupted banks, credit, and networked sites. It has even awakened the amorphous hacker subculture of “Anonymous” which was last known for its mass protests against the Church of Scientology to rise against the opponents of Wikileaks. The Net, as child of the military (conventional power) has begun to turn on its masters, with expected reflexive responses."
Corrupt governments of the world, we are anonymous. For some time now, voices have been crying out in unison against the new ACTA laws. The gross inadequacies of the new laws being passed internationally have been pointed out repeatedly. Our chief complaint is that such measures would restrict people’s access to the internet.
In these modern times access to the internet is fast becoming a basic human right. Just like any other basic human right, we believe that it is wrong to infringe upon it. To threaten to cut people off from the global consciousness as you have is criminal and abhorrent. To move to censor content on the internet based on your own prejudice is at best laughably impossible, at worst, morally reprehensible.

"Anonymous is a living idea. Anonymous is an idea that can be edited, updated, remanded, changed on a whim. We are living consciousness. We are not a terrorist organization as governments, demagogues, and the media would have you believe. At this time Anonymous is a consciousness focused on campaigning peacefully for Freedom of Speech. We ask the world to support us, not for our sake, but for your own. When governments control freedom they control you. The Internet is the last bastion of freedom in this evolving technical world. The Internet is capable of connecting us all. When we are connected we are strong. When we are strong we have power. When we have power we are able to do the impossible. This is why the government is moving on Wikileaks. This is what they fear. They fear our power when we unite. Do not forget this."
