Anonymous are young and frankly a bit romantic to the point of naive in their politics. Assange was the worst type of anarchist; the type in it for himself. I remain frustrated that it took Anonymous this long to recognize it but I applaud them for having the courage to do their about face.
I think he (Assange) started out on the right track, and got in over his head before all hell broke loose with Bradley Manning etc
I also think he is being accused of sexual crimes he didn't commit
I think this man has been held captive and his business model stifled. It's not even about
Julian Assange anymore imo
Not sure if you read the statement(s) from Anonymous today. They claim that Wikileaks 'sold out' (moreless) I disagree
I do think that the momentum of this movement for internet purity is being derailed. Assange is only a figurehead of the movement
the establishment is winning
the fact that Anonymous is backing off and distancing themselves from Wikileaks is not a good sign imo
I don't understand why Wiki is imposing a mandatory
donation though.
I read the statement in full.
Wikileaks forcing mandatory 'donations' is bad business. seems like they have less credibility now if browsing certain files requires a payment.
sigh
