obvious troll is obvious. anonymous is about sharing information, so is facebook. anon has no reason to take out facebook, therefore this is a fake.
It's not just what you post about yourself, but what other people post about, or somehow relating to you, that stalkers eat up. Some people only use FB to get alerts for things they're interested in and never actually post anything, but that isn't always the same for their friends or friends of friends who post pictures and pages of gossip5t3v0 said:

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they 'came down' well before November 5th. By putting out this release, and saying they won't attack until the 5th, they could easily trick people into not closing their accounts until the 4th. If they had left the date ambiguous, people would likely get scared and close their accounts immediately. However, by putting a date a while in the future, they could attack earlier while the accounts are still up, and thus maintain both the press (cultivated by this release) and the element of surprise.
My two cents. If you have a FB account, I recommend removing personal information like phone numbers or your email.

I'm on the fence about this being a good or a bad thing. On the one hand, I use Facebook a lot to communicate with friends outside of the country or interstate, but on the other hand I'd learn more in class if the teacher didn't have to keep saying "get out of Facebook" to everyone every 2 seconds.
Good luck, Anonymous. I'm pretty sure you're going to need it if you take it down.

Pretty sure you're right. In fact, I think Anonymous denied it was them multiple times.Anoni Mus said:
Remember, Remember the 5th of November. The Gun powder, Teason and Plot. I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot.
Well... they really love that film xD
Personally I think sadly this would be a too little too late attempt if it even achieved anything.
First off the information Facebook has, and therefore government agencies have is severely high already. Next they would only destroy the portal... not even the portal but one of many portals. It would be like breaking one mirror in a hall of mirrors and then after being dragged out, see it replaced the next day.
Better than nothing right? xD

Incoming spoiler due to wall of text response. My apologies in advance.
You have answered a part of your own question. It needs to happen, because people do not seemingly care. People of this generation think, well it doesnt hurt me, so why should I care? These are the people who are allowing atrocities to continue. The ones who dont care because they feel they are not being effected, are the same ones who dont even realize that they ARE being effected or even how they are being effected. So those who dont care because they dont care if their information is being freely handed not only hurt themselves, and by perpetuating this complacency they hurt everyone in the process.
Compare the situation if you will to smokers. Smokers want to have the right to do with their body what they will, and yet there have been many laws restricting smoking because peoples willful ignorance not only hurts them, it hurts those in proximity to them.
Monitoring the populous, having more hands on your personal information than a back alley hooker, are all bad things. However the worst thing is that the herd perpetuates this. They do so because they dont care if their info is tossed around, so long as they can let people who really dont give a shit about them know they "Just had a totally bitchin` weekend!" And its that mentality in the populous that this action is directed to, infinitely more than being directed at Facebook as corrupt medium.
People have become so complacent that they willingly volunteer real life information into facebook without ever considering the consequence of how that information could be used and for no other reason than a web form told them to. So long as they are fulfilling their need for belonging, they are willing to ignore threats to their freedoms and safety.
This is why people needs to happen. Yes, we should take that freedom away from people when they have already illustrated that this infringes on privacy, security and true freedom of speech for all people.
What this action does is the necessary step of jolting the addicts away from their addiction to fabricated self value and artificial sense of belonging. Without that break on a wide scale the only change you will see in the situation will go from bad to infinitely worse.

No don't do that Anonymous! If you kill FaceBook everyone will have to switch to Google+ and then GOOGLE WILL OWN EVERYONE!!!
... yeah I actually don't care all that much. The only social websites I use are this one and FlankBook, and that's all I really need.
