Conformity Ticks-Off Anonymous, Set to Build Own Social Network

What’s the worst thing you can do to a hacker?  Give them a taste of their own medicine? No, ban them from using your offered service.  Google+ had the balls to ban Anonymous and other related users (hackers), from using their social network.

And so the “anti-Christ” of social networks was born: AnonPlus.  A social network described as “a social network where there is no fear of censorship, of blackout, nor of holding back.”

The site is dark and Gothic-looking, with a big ‘EXPECT US’ smack in the middle, like a foreboding lamentation with phrases such as:

“They will know that we have arrived. There will be no oppression. There will be no more tyranny. We are the people and we are Anonymous.”

Google+ may be applauded for its bravery to stand up against a group that has been causing so much chaos in the IT realm, but shouldn’t they be scared?  The AnonPlus webpage looks like a threat, but how concerning should it be for a company like Google?  Anonymous feels oppressed, though they’ve been doing much of the oppressing, making others feel equally offended and pissed off.  And we all know what happens when the oppressed have reached their boiling point – they retaliate.  It’s one thing to create a social network; it’s another to create a movement.  Let’s brace ourselves for things to come.  This may be something Google+ regrets soon enough.
