The Anonymous movement has stood for a while now in open conflict with KKK supporters. ``The Klan`` is an extremist group that made serious damages from torturing to horrible killings against black peopleacross United States in the past century. These extremists are engaged in fighting for the supremacy of the white race. The action of those of the Anonymous comes in the following context: the 5th of November is a special date.
In 1605, on November 5, Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the British Parliament. This trial has been transposed successfully in 2005 in the form of a film,``V for Vendetta``which has created a true emulation.
Thus was born the hackers group Anonymous, and the main character`s mask became the visiting card of this organization.One of the lines from the film became famous. For those who are passionate about this topic, will surely they remember it: ”Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason, Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot!...”
To honor Guy Fawkes, Anonymous staged protests in several cities. Many of the protesters wore masks. in London the protests became violent. Around 50 people were arrested. Several London Police cars were set on fire.
In recent years, Anonymous was responsible for numerous cyber attacks. Although the authorities have undertaken efforts, members of this group were not caught until now.
According to BBC Anonymous expert, Gabriella Coleman, these actions are a reaffirmation of these hackers. They also took part on a riot in Ferguson, Missouri when a jury decided not to prosecute a white police officer who shot and killed a black teenager.
A few days ago a list of alleged members of the Ku Klux Klan had been posted, a list that has been proven to be false.That list has been distributed extensively on social networks.
This action assigned to those of Anonymous has attracted many critics. On the Twitter account, Anonymous has vehemently denied that it distributed false list. Instead, through the actions on November 5, Anonymous seeks to assert itself as an entity that fights for social justice and righteousness as well.
