I’m old enough to remember reporters talking about Anonymous like this. Then people who had been conditioned by the war on terror wrote shitty op-eds asking if it should be a banned organisation etc.

I ignore most of it because of the ambigueities involved and the fact that they never hacked US health insurers and consultancies.
