Something tells me that while Anonymous are having their fun with Mastercard and Visa, staffers in Joe Lieberman’s office are probably exchanging high-fives and gleefully putting the finishing touches to a forthcoming Mandatory Biometric Identification for Internet Users Act.
The events of the past few days have reminded the Powers that Be why an open Internet is intolerable, and now a reaction is probably not only inevitable but imminent. In five years time, maybe you’ll have to thank Anonymous for the fact that you’re not.
