LoL @ all of the news agencies and companies giving Anonymous credit for something it didn't do: http://www.godaddy.com/newscenter/release-view.aspx?news_item_id=410
Haha, I knew it! It seems so fishy that'd 'anonymous' would do something like this. But it's too late, the sheeple already believe it was them. (Just read the comments on any of those sites that reported this incident as an act of hackers).
Good for GoDaddy for admitting it was an internal problem. They could of easily just said they WERE hacked, and were a victim. That'd help push that pro-SOPA type laws they support.
Exactly. I was hoping they wouldn't take the easy way out and blame something they had no control over. It's also true about the pro-SOPA agenda that they could have been a poster boy for but they did the right thing and told the truth. I still won't use them for their god awful interface but I have a little more respect for them now for taking responsibility for the outage.
Not... really. Internet surveillance legislation will be pushed through regardless. Even if I generally don't like it when sites are DDoSed (etc), you can't point at it as if it's the cause of internet surveillance.
"Hackers" is just one of the many handy excuses used for this legislation. If hackers didn't exist, it would be child porn. If child porn didn't exist, it would be counterfeiters. And so on, and so on.
True, true. But when these things are reported, as in "hackers took down facebook!" or "hackers took down GoDaddy!" the general populous is all for doing 'whatever it takes' to make sure these things don't happen.
I agree that an increase of internet surveillance is going to happen no matter what, it's already happening. But the general population is more and more okay with it the more and more they hear about these acts happening. =/
And everything else you said is all available in onionland anyway, even though the FBI already controls a ton of Tor nodes.
It doesn't even matter whether something really happened or not. If there are no hackers, simply pretend that they exist (as a government) and boom, everyone agrees with it.
It's horrible to see how easily influenced people are, and the results of that.
