4. How is Anonymous related to the movie "V for Vendetta"?



   V for Vendetta the movie was based on the comic written by Alan Moore & David Lloyd. It talks about a freedom fighter called V who wanted to ignite revolution against the brutal fascist regime led by Adam Sutler that has subjugated the United Kingdom.

The article titled, "‘V FOR VENDETTA’ INSPIRES ANONYMOUS, CREATOR DAVID LLOYD RESPONDS", written by Aaron Colter, explains a short relation between Anonymous and the movie including a few ideas about their actions. The hackers use a private chat room called IRC (Internet Relay Chat) where they can discuss about the operations & plan their attacks. At the near end of the article, there were questions being asked about Anonymous.




They say the Guy Fawkes mask is a political sign of protest against harmful indoctrination of Scientology & is an inspiration to the character V because he was a revolutionary. It became a sign when V manage to defeat the government & assigned a new world order to the people who portray like him by wearing the same mask. I feel that the people are stronger than the government when they all reunite as 1 & fight back.

    The hackers are playing a role as V like they're trying to bring down the government sites with DDoS attack while the protesters watch as they are getting closer to victory. The government is making a lot of restrictions on the internet which affects the world society & the cyber heroes Anonymous are there to put a stop to it & bring freedom to the internet.

The mask is being sold all over the world & people use it not only to protest against the government but to hide their identity from the public. I hear whenever they're interviewed over the internet, they disguise their voice for further concealment. Being a hacker is all about experience in programming & how are you gonna use that skill. You can work as an individual or a team if you know someone who is part of Anonymous.
