What good is studying 4chan anyway. Itt isn't like anything important will ever come from there.

Sorry to break it to you but a sizable chunk of the english speaking "internet culture" and memes we throw around are based on 4chan or 4chan related gibberish. ;)

And just because:
Spoiler: moot and I back in 2006. Yes, he gave me a pedobear and WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY pin (click to show/hide)
That was the last anime con I ever went to.

Top priority is to steal and leak any classified government information, including email spools and documentation. Prime targets are banks and other high-ranking establishments. If they try to censor our progress, we will obliterate the censor with cannonfire anointed with lizard blood.

You have to realise that the people who call themselves "anonymous"/lulzsec doing cyberterrorism and such and the actual anonymous of 4chan/futaba related sites aren't the same thing.

The FBI realise that.

I like how racists and trolls are subgroups of retards. The non-existance of an intersection between girls and internet is hilarious though if you consider that 99% of the net is porn [/hyperbole]

I said this on another thread yesterday, but I'll repeat the idea again.

"4chan, in particular /b/, was a site where intelligent individuals jokingly acted like idiots, racists, retards,  sexist pedophiles pushing the envelop of what was funny, horrific, and acceptable. Somewhere along the way the website became filled with idiots, racists, retards, sexists, and pedophiles that missed the joke."

How effective are governments at in cracking down cyberterrorism? Cyberterrorism, right now, is not as damaging as, say, an actual terrorist attack, but it would seem much harder to trace down an individual taking part in it, much less anyone actually leading these cyber-terrorist organizations (if there is even a leader running the show).

Interesting study, but I wish they went into memetics more than a sentence or two, but maybe I wasn't paying attention enough.

The FBI and Anonymous are also in a bizarre relationship. Sometimes they cooperate to "van" people, sometimes they try to screw each other over.

The difference is that the FBI is trying to uphold the law, whereas Anonymous is trying to uphold the hilarity.

I want the FBI to make a press release thanking Anonymous in one of these incidents. Just to see them do it. "The Federal Bureau of Investigation thanks Anonymous for their assistance in this recent joint operation, and hopes that they find the lulz resulting from it sufficent."

I would laugh forever.
