Anonymous and WikiLeaks

Andres talked about Anonymous a few days ago: how did it start, what do they do...


Anonymous is an Internet meme that originated in 2003 on the imageboard 4chan, representing the concept of many online and offline community users simultaneously existing as an anarchic, digitized global brain.


Then we also talked about WikiLeaks, an international, online, self-described not-for-profit organisation that publishes submissions of private, secret, and classified media from anonymous news sources.


The Swedish police began an investigation into allegations concerning the Australian Julian Assange's (the founder of WikiLeaks) behaviour in separate sexual encounters involving two different women. I think they did it because of what he had done with all those secrets, not because of that (I don't think that's true).
