Here's the anonymous video announcing that some guy in a V for Vendetta mask announcing.Īlex: I can't take it seriously when they wear that stupid headgear. Leo: It looks like a movie, doesn't it? It looks like it's straight out of Hollywood.Īlex: They think it looks good when in reality it doesn't. Leo: Is Anonymous, first of all, Anonymous can't declare anything. You can't even say who is in it.Īlex: It's very similar to the TWiT production crew. Leo: It's almost like Jason Howell declared war against ISIS. Let it be known for the record I did not do that. Leo: Do you think that at ISIS headquarters they're going, "Who?" Literally. say what you will about Anonymous, and they do look silly there, but they have had a pretty practical effect here. Leo: You covered the Occupy Wall Street movement, right?ĭan: Yeah, I've been at Occupy and at the UN covering Daesh as they say up there, or ISIL in large part because there's power in the word ISIS. There are many controversial parts of their name, so using Daesh is those who trample the book. That's an effective way to communicate about what this organization is doing. I see what Anonymous is doing is this weird new symmetrical attack.

When ISIS attacks a nation state, it's a symmetric, because they're small and they're using all these weird small ways to prick the large nations. But Anonymous is doing the same thing right back to them, so I certainly don't advocate for what Anonymous does, necessarily, but it's very interesting to see similar tactics deployed against Daesh.

Leo: What does Anonymous say it's going to do?ĭan: Taking down Twitter accounts. They've also been, a lot of members of Daesh, the websites are built using Cloud Flare, which was in the news this week and Telegram, of course, so they've been taking down those accounts or at least listing these accounts. Leo: By the way, Telegram has responded by pulling down 22 ISIS related channels. That doesn't mean ISIS can't continue to use Telegram.ĭan: I think what Anonymous is doing is applying pressure in the opposite direction. Look, if you're cloud flare, the public has a right to know if you're keeping these questionable sites up. Same thing with Telegram so at the very least they can expose and provide a little sunlight to where these creepy bastards are crawling.
