    I most disagree with identifying Anonymous as a group. It was meant to be a label under which anyone could do anything, granted power through what it was specifically not, and the attempts by people both within and without to make it a group destroyed the value of the Anonymous label.

      Yeah I think the name sort of hints at that, for anyone using their thinking muscles

    Maybe some early pranks. Most of what they do seems legit, fighting oppression and calling out bigots and disgusting people.

    Probably defacing PBS?

    Though I think that may have kindof been the FBI’s idea rather than Anonymous’. (It took place after Sabu was compromised by the FBI and I think it was kindof Sabu that started… was it LulzSec that that PBS hack was done under?)

    Fuckin’ FBI.

    (Also, don’t know why you’re getting downvotes.)

    The Scientology fight

    Damn, I completely misread the question, sorry about that.
