But who and what are Anonymous? A radical new form of activism – or just bored teenagers? We talk to some of the 'hacktivists' and the experts who tracked them down in the deep web

Interesting read, thanks.

I don't think they're real activists. I think they're bullies, or if I'm feeling like a sensationalist, terrorists. I mean think about it. We don't like what you did, so we're going to (attempt to) take down parts of the internet... That's seriously childish.

I can't roll my eyes hard enough about their "activism". It's just the big kid in your early school days that liked to push other kids in mud puddles.

It's pretty eye opening that the guy in the article was reading chats of when he was in the middle of it, and even he can't figure out what he was thinking...
