   Their parents are going to be pissed when they lose their means of sharing baby & puppy pictures. They might even get kicked out of the basement and forced to find an apartment somewhere.

   Dumb move.

   Snow Crash? The Diamond Age? Cryptonomicon?

   I wouldn’t mind Hiro Protagonist having a go at “Anonymous” with his wakizashi…

   Attention citizens of the World. Message from the hacking group Anonymous that Facebook will be destroyed, and the historic day will be November 5th, 2011. They accuse Facebook of selling your private information to government agencies and giving clandestine access to information security firms. So that they can spy on people from all around the world.

   Remember, remember the fifth of November, refer to Guy Fawkes with origins in 17th century English history. On the 5th November 1605 Guy Fawkes was caught in the cellars of the Houses of Parliament with several dozen barrels of gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was subsequently tried as a traitor with his co-conspirators for plotting against the government. He was tried by Judge Popham who came to London specifically for the trial from his country manor Littlecote House in Hungerford, Gloucestershire. Fawkes was sentenced to death and the form of the execution was one of the most horrendous ever practised (hung ,drawn and quartered) which reflected the serious nature of the crime of treason.

   One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter…

   I’m confuzzled. I picture happyfeet in his cubicle thinking of ways to drive people to the Vidal Sassoon Facebook page he ideated for to make girlie hair more lustrous by way of coupons. And he wants it to die?

   I thought destroying Facebook was Google+’s job.

   Just an aside, anyone who draws upon Guy Fawkes attempt to blow up Parliament for inspiration isn’t someone who looks to build a better or more just society.

   Last I checked, Facebook was 100% optional. Why go after them instead of the “government agencies” or “information security firms”? What a bunch of fucking poseurs.

   facebook has become intrusive to where you can’t hardly go anywhere without some wanker slapping your photo up on facebook

    Alan Moore won’t like to hear that, Charles.

    There’s a lot of things Alan Moore doesn’t like.

    Speaking of Vidal Sassoon, didn’t that International Man of Mystery and chap with the lovely floppy hair B. Brown control the shadowy Anonymous cult?

    RTO Trainer, there are few things I find more absurdly laughable than the British artists who came of age in the ’70s equating Thatcherism with fascism.

    He’s their public face and official Spokescreep, SW. I doubt he has the brains or patience to hack his way into a can of Spotted Dick, what with being a twitchy drug addict and all.

    So, a group of people who willfully hide their identities have taken it upon themselves to destroy a service they think is doing me harm?

    I feel so much safer now.

    Sounds like some persons have been reading too many Dark Knight comics graphic novels and need to come out of their parents basements a little more often.

    The sunlight would do them good.

    I guess over throwing third world countries didn’t work out so good, huh?

    I had an exchange about a year ago with Mr. Moore over Twitter. Don’t remember what the exact issue was, but I ended up telling him that if he wanted to improve the world, he should write better comics.
