Greetings from ASN (AnonSocialNetwork)

First of all : Welcome to ATS

Honestly , and this is my opinion : i have no clue what to think of Anonymous in terms of what their ultimate goal or endgame , and the people behind it , now ofcourse if they are people fighting for the people , and they would reveal their identity this could provide a risk for their personal wellbeing , i understand this.

Our purpose here is to give you a view from 'inside' the Hive, the slant that the media fail to see, the view from where we stand.

This is important , because like a lot of people , i also have a hard time finding trust for Anonymous , because i just do not know what they are really up to.

I hope such organisation understands that we live in a Political/Social era where even the "Players are getting Played"
and to find trust for such organisation would require a good amount of transparancy.

Good luck on your endeavour.

Welcome to ATS, I look forward to your threads and posts. I reiterate much of the sentiment of other members and have many of the same questions.

Are you one member who will be responding and posting or will members of your organization post at will in the ASN name?

If for some reason you are banned from ATS, is there a site that members may check into and continue to ask questions of you and get information?

Will you communicate timely on your threads and your posts (unlike one famous person on this site who posts and runs, leaving members to speculate and guess) in order to encourage dialogue and contributions, brainstorming etc?

Again, welcome, and I as many others look forward to some interesting information that hopefully will assist people in their daily lives, exposing corruptions in ways we can proceed to neuter the bullies and thieves in our government.

This just stinks of BS !

Think about it for a moment, all this over use of the word friend.

Using badly scripted language. Supposedly anonymous but posting on a forum.

Come on, this is just a joker with too much free time on their hands, maybe a small time hacker with one too many rainbow tables and delusions of grandeur.

Just my tupence worth.

Welcome,I hope that you will pardon my ignorance but I don`t know what anonsocialnetwork is.
What is it that you do?
What are some of your biggest accomplishments?

Firstly I'll say welcome....however I struggle to understand how one person can come here talking about the group as a whole, simply by adopting an avatar and username that all but claims to be the group?

If no one person is Anonymous, then who gave you permission to act like this, won't many many others be slightly pissed right now?

Not sure what to believe to be honest, you're going to have a lot of people watching you either way.

We are neither friend nor foe, we exist. We are a natural consequence to lost liberties, corruption and ever increasing surveillance upon your right to privacy.

By us being here we mean ATS no harm, just clarity in what we do.

Thankyou friend

Why do you speak like the Borg? Is it to be dramatic? Or as a collective group, do you guys start speaking in the same autotuned robotic voice?

I'm one of the ones you have been warned about.. proof is needed to
wet my whistle..
So can we have a notification of a web site one hour before it goes down!

Carry on

Wow, am I glad I didn't miss this thread.

I have to say, I'm a bit skeptical, however
I also have an open mind that you are who you say you are
and will be very interested in what you (or are you more than
one) has to say.

I'll be following the thread closely.

Is it just one of those co-incidences that you happen to show up
as there is another thread regarding the Ferguson PD and their alleged
(by Anon) associations to The Klan?

I'm just throwing that out there.

Welcome to ATS.

Also I understand that your main goal is governments, but I've heard of several independent hackers that used to work with the govt (mostly because they were forced to) to weed out peodophiles, child pornography rings, and other nefarious groups on the internet and put them to justice. Now I'm not saying you should work with the govt here on this (that's just a bad idea) but why has anon not exposed this sort of stuff as well? Do they know how much harm and pain child pornography causes people? Theres so many other horrible people/things out there on the net...

They took down most of the child porn sites on Tor and doxed many of the producers/uploaders at one point. There are anons that routinely prevent access to these sites, as well. Not too shabby, I'd say.

Hey NSA, Welcome to ATS.

Welcome

Global National News & other media is blaming Anonymous for the City of Ottawa's website being hacked.

Underneath the image of a dancing banana was the message:

“You laugh at us, you are scared of us, does this help your laughing? We can destroy everything, this is a flex of our power. Please, test us. You know what we want,”

City of Ottawa website hack

Is this true, are you guys responsible or is it a lie?

Without proof, it's difficult to believe you are who you say you are. Under the assumption that you are, what kinds of checks and balances do you have to ensure that you stay on point with your goals and your mission? How do you keep fellow members from going rogue and attacking people/places/corperations who aren't a part of the problem? The old saying goes..."with great power, comes great responsibility".

I don't post a whole lot but am very much looking forward to reading this thread..at least for a while. I say let's believe this person(a) until ...

What would be proof to you?

Several posters have also demanded proof. I am skeptical of anyone making great claims on any forum, but I also do not demand impossible proofs(most of the time). Time will tell if this poster is legit.

Good luck AnonSocialNetwork.
some on ATS are out to get you,
well any one who speaks the truth.

what ever you do dont get angry.
thats a trick they use.
only time will be the proof you are real.

Anonymity is one of the weapons the individual has to fight against the power elite, this is why the fight so diligently against it on the internet. The power elite are actively trying to rid the world of dissidents the wish to make us all the same as to better able to control us and because they believe it is the only way to "rebuild" the wealth of the U.S.

This is a message to the power elite, if the state of the world is your creation then you deserve our rebellion NOT our allegiance. You may state that the average voter should not be allowed to make decisions of his/her own free will because they would not know how to run the country, but take a look around, the world your created is not much better than the one you envision a true democracy would create.

Greets Anonymous. Oldf@9 /b/tard here. I have sailed the seven proxies friend. Your introduction is very well spoken, it is good to see you making the effort to reach out to ATS and helping this site gravitate toward a better understanding of Anonymous. I have tried to explain to the best of my ability what it is to be Anon to our fellow ATS members and often many fall on deaf ears or even claim Anonymous to be a CIA front ect. Really the gist of Anonymous is simplistic so much people over complicate it tends to confuse people. A lot of the ATS members here are very skeptical and some of the fringe "paranoid" when it comes to Anon you will find.

I have participated in several Op's over the years since the inception of Project Chanology from you know where, a certain defunct image board. Im better known for orchestrating raids though. And when i say defunct i mean what transpired during gamergate ... I wont get in to that.


Ok so ill contribute.

Why did i become Anon ? I have to watch my P's and Q's here but here goes.

Originally it started as a joke, then it manifested in to a entity in itself. Being a joker as well as being vocal and proactive against corruption ( im on a conspiracy site of course ) well it was meant to be or inevitable. So we trolled Scientology irl and dawned epic fail guy's mask and the rest is history. Over the years many of my bros were just in for the lulz and have jumped ship since then. They played a huge role in the op's raids and lulz that birthed this "thing" we know Anonymous as it is today. What happened was a lot of us just "grew up" and had to take on responsibilities and became more aware of the big issues we face in society today. We moved out of our parents basements, we integrated in to every facet of society. But the most of us are "newfriends" for the most part. Post OWS basically, it attracted a lot of social justice warriors and for some it is "edgy" and "hip" but they mean well. I have had friends get vanned by the FBI and over in the UK as well as an end result to some Op's.

It has been interesting to say the least watching Anon evolve and go global. Never would even fathom it would become what it is today some 7 years ago. A lot of good can come from a bad joke after all. It's been real ... lulzy that is. All though I have not been active in quite a while i will pick and choose now and then a good battle and contribute with what tools and knowledge with my skillset. I have been out the loop mostly for a few years. It seems there for a while there were too many Op's going on at once so they just did not get any legs behind it. But sometimes Op's really take off like what is happening with Ferguson and the KKK. I cant stay away hehe , it's almost duty.

Somewhere there is someone growing back some hair they they shaved off over Justin Bieber's cancer , and there is a pool closed due to AIDS

Welcome to ATS. Although I do have to say that you folks kinda weird me out. Anonymity is a great thing to an extent... but it's also kinda creepy (although I understand why it has to be). And what's with the whole taking down the Playstation Network a while back? Seems to me that that hurt gamers more than the corporation. For the most part I've smiled approvingly at the antics of Anon, but sometimes the organizations' motives aren't entirely clear (which is what creeps me out). Hopefully you can do as you've promised and give clarification once you reach your 20 posts.

I could probably answer that one

For abusing "the judicial system in an attempt to censor information," and for victimizing its customers for merely "possession and sharing information."

However a particular group affiliated with Anonymous does not represent the whole. As a gamer myself i was conflicted, here i could not log on PSN practically all summer at the same time the company was throwing it's consumer base under bus and i understood that sometimes we all have to sacrifice a little just to make a statement. There is basically 2 versions of Anonymous btw. You have the trolls in it for the lulz and then you have your activists. Hackers can and will be elemental in both versions.

Oh and yes we are "weird" most Anonymous i have known from the cesspool of the internet where we lurk moar are apathetic , with social anxiety & socially awkward. Many are artistic and eccentric as well. Odd balls and that sort. Nerds , class clowns and some are sociopaths and that ilk. Proud to call them my own because i get them. And the internet and certain image boards is teh perfect conduit to amass hordes of anonymous to do something that goes against the grain , offensive and crass often cruel even repugnant ... something amazing and that is the beauty of it.Like a shock jock, its like old school Howard Stern gone interwebs.

There is no official spokesperson for Anonymous hence what you are asking for can not happen. OP made it clear they are not a representative and that they were only giving some insight in to the inner workings of the collective as an affiliate. We do not have "members" there is no membership , no signup , no hazing , no seal of approval. It is not like a gang, or biker gang with "prospects" or a para military group.

We just embraced it , became it simply.

Think of Anonymous as a school of fish or a flock of birds , where one Anon puts a idea forward and more follow that idea coagulating together in a direction then there is some discussion and debate to the idea. Like a snow ball rolling down a hill gaining momentum and growing larger ... or kind of like the blob. Then it becomes problem > reaction > solution. Then a Op is put forward once enough are on board that they feel comfortable to execute the Operation. Usually this is done on a IRC client. Just to be clear I am not directing anyone or anything like that just explaining how this think tank works.

Op is saying for lack of a better word they are giving a journalist approach from the inside via affiliation.

If anyone wishes to research Anonymous i recommend some literature to start with
