This sucks - just when we need them the most. The article says she doesn’t have any attorney attorney. Should we start a crowdfunding for her?

    This will have literally zero effect. It was never about particular people, or “leaders”. This is honestly hilarious. But it absolutely tracks with the mindset of what the DoJ is turning into.

      It’s hard to fully cover your tracks. Even harder to deny when you are successfully traced, then you are found to be in possession of things related to the crime. Like Luigi…wtf…he kept the 3D printed gun, he kept the manifesto, I mean step one you dump, destroy evidence.

    Court records show the Federal Bureau of Investigation worked with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Canada, to execute a search warrant at Cottle’s residence

    Bad Canada. Stop helping those who threaten you.

    Surely it’s coincidence that the feds are after them when the last video they dropped pointed out election disparities in '24 and accused Elon of stealing the election.

      There were hints of it before, too. Who knows why it wasn’t even explored before clown shit asshat took over.

      We deserve the worst at this point.

      It shouldn’t affect their operations much at all, but it might act as deterrent for people to join up or continue. Or keep evidence just hanging around.

      Some people (officials, journalists) are incapable of grasping “decentralised” and quickly have to bridge the abyss that’s opening in their minds, usually with something like “mentor”, or “ringleader” or, in this case, “co-founder”. I wonder how many “co-founders” there are: a hundred? ten thousand?

      If they caught co-founder of the group, it means they are going after others too, and this might discourage others to continue their work.

        Except they didn’t catch the “co-founder” because there is no such person? Anyone claiming to have co-founded Anonymous is as full of shit as the media trying to portray it as such. Seriously, I would like to support this woman, but not in a way that denies reality.

          I mean, theoretically all original anonymous members are co-founders

          It’s nebulous, bu at some point t it went from an idea to a hacktivist affiliation. Anyone who got on board with the idea before they did anything could be fairly called a co-founder

    I would very much like to know why the alt-right isn’t being absolutely destroyed on the tech front. Do they really have ALL the information security pros? I feel like if the resistance is dead-set on non-violence, cyberattacks, catfishing/exposing, etc. should absolutely be a priority, but I don’t seem to see anything taking place on that front.

      Bro it is actually insane how many conservatives you could blackbag and disappear if you just Catfished them on Grindr. They’d never be able to admit anyone among their ilk ever got lured by gay sex into being bound, blindfolded, gagged, anesthetized, whisked off to upstate Vermont, and tossed into a wood chipper.

        I dunno if I’d be able to jump or even haul a heavy conservative, but my ass is p fat and my mouth looks fuckable AF, and I would be totally willing to be the honey for this kinda trap.

        I mean… the wood chipper sounds like a more pivotal reason they won’t tell their story.

          Their colleagues trying to decry what’s happening would be very hesitant to admit that the vector was through grindr

      Real talk- I thought it wasn’t a cohesive group and more a symbolic group. Like anyone could do some hacker stuff and claim to be “Anonymous”. I mean, how would you know the difference?
