8 Good Things Done By Hacker 'Terrorist' Group Anonymous


#6 LGBT Issues

On August 2012 Anonymous hacked into Ugandan government websites in protest of the pending Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill. A message stated, "Anonymous will continue to target Ugandan government sites and communications until the government of Uganda treats all people including LGBT people equally." Journalist Parmy Olson cited one research project that found that as many as thirty per cent of posters on 4chan fell into the LGBT category, posters often pretending to be the opposite sex.

#5 Internet pedophilia

In October 2011, "Operation Darknet" was launched as an attempt to cease the activities of child porn sites accessed through hidden services in the deep web. Anonymous published in a pastebin link what it claimed were the user names of 1,589 members of Lolita City, a child porn site accessed via the Tor network. Anonymous said that it had found the site via The Hidden Wiki, and that it contained over 100 gigabytes of child pornography. Anonymous launched a denial-of-service attack to take Lolita City offline.
