I kinda want to see this happen. The backlash of a social networking site goes down people flipping their shit. It's gonna be awesome.

I don't buy it. This isn't Anonymous' style at all. Say what you will about their methods, but it all serves a purpose. Everything they do is free speech and freedom of information. Taking down Facebook doesn't help that goal in anyway shape or form.
Actually it does.

Facebook allows the government and whoever else to monitor what you do, what you like, who you associate with, etc. It is very common for big companies to do background checks by looking at your Facebook profile. Look it up if you don't believe me. By taking FB down, you take away the power of "The Man" to watch every move you make and everything you say.
No, you just make it marginally more difficult. You can be tracked via cell phone towers, and FB isn't the only company with crap security.

And while we're at it, I have a hard time supporting such lovely freedom fighters as Anonymous given that their happy freedom loving hack on Sony saw one of my credit cards get compromised (as in, people charging things to it). Don't fool yourself that this is some noble venture, unless "stealing people's money" has suddenly become a great cause.

So Anonymous is just a bunch of idiots with nothing better to than torment people. God I'd love to meet them in real life. We could have a nice chat about their actions. Just me, them, and my bowie knife.

I kind of fucking use Facebook for stuff, where does Anonymous get off on actually damaging people's lives like that anyway?

...You hate an undefined group of people, pursuing freedom of information?
There are anons doing good stuff; these aren't one of them.
Wait what are they doing good? Every time I see something they are taking stuff down and interrupting everyone elses day because they are pissy bitches.

I honestly thing this is stupid and I can't wait for the day that they disband. Or are arrested.

Oh for fucks sake, can't people just let people enjoy what they enjoy. I like using facebook, means I can keep up with people who live in different countries, I talk to people in America, Canada, Australia.

Take down twitter, that's fucking useless. Making short little comments, promotes stalking, it's just weird.

Sorry for the use of a smiley but....

I don't really see what they plan to accomplish by taking down something like facebook, it seems odd considering what they usually go for.

Let it all burn? Actually I don't really care. It would be kind of interesting to watch it all unfold though.

Why don't we arrange a trade-off: Anonymous takes out LulzSec, and in exchange, we find a way to live without Facebook. Say, oh, I don't know, TWITTER.

EDIT: Also, this is why I don't use social networks.

I hope they don't as it's a useful way to contact people. Facebook can be a reasonably useful tool and I don't really see why they would get rid of it.
Sometimes I support anon, it's times like this that I don't, also I get the feeling that it isn't actually anon, it seems slightly flashy for them.

But Anonymous didn't perpetrate the Sony hacks, remember?

I agree... I don't really understand the point. -.- Just like I didn't understand Lulzsec (excuse the misspelling, if I have) hacking into somewhere like Bethesda Softworks, either.
I love how people supported them until they became victims themselves, never liked hackers in any way, shape or form.

Good luck with that anonymous. I'm pretty sure you're not even big enough to take out facebook.
you know it's going to fail, right? because they said what they are planning to do

Anonymous isn't something to be feared, but it's not something ti be taken lightly either. When you catch them on a good day and properly motivate them on /b/ or find some people on the invasion wiki they really CAN do some damage to large sites and individual people alike. However, 99/100 these threats are empty and they can't get anyone competent or committed. Generally when they give warnings, it's some loser 13 year old in their basement, then he makes a post on /b/ and everyone calls him a ******. It's the ones you don't see coming or the times you insult them, that something might happen. Expect for the best but prepare for the worst is how I take it.

Shhhh! Don't issue them a challenge! That's how bad things get started!
I thought it was just the late LOLzsec who rose to challenges like that...I guess any group could...

I joined Facebook to keep in touch with a couple of people from high school and a few family members. I wouldn't really mind though, if Facebook was taken down. I've had and deleted a few accounts and am really not fussed over it.
Eh, LulzSec isn't 'late' nothin'. They're still around and still hacking things, they just don't make the news anymore for whatever reason. Also, LulzSec and Anonymous have been issuing joint statements on a couple of issues recently. (FBI, Facebook, etc etc).

It's not that LulzSec has died out so much as been re-assimilated by Anonymous.
