tezza Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hacktivist members of the online collective called "Anonymous" targeted the websites of the United Kingdom Supreme Court and the CIA on Friday, responding to efforts by both governments to stifle internet freedom. Anonymous has named its new campaign to fight online censorship "Operation The Pirate Bay" (TPR) and "Operation Trial At Home." On Friday afternoon both websites were knocked offline and inaccessible to the public, most likely with a DDoS attack. The cyber-attack comes just days after the British high court ruled that Internet service providers must block all access to The Pirate Bay, a popular file sharing website. Since the ban, traffic to the Pirate Bay has in fact increased by 12 million, while the website has defied the UK ban and offered users tips on how to get around the block. In a video released by Anonymous promoting Operation TPR, an electronically voiced narrator equates the UK government's attempts to block The Pirate Bay to the US government's attackon Megaupload.com and the file-sharing website's founder Kim Dotcom. The minute-long video ends with a play on Anonymous' typical send-off: "We do not forgive censorship. We do not forget the corrupted ways of our government." This online skirmish between Anonymous and the US and UK governments comes in the midst of a much larger battle over the fate of internet privacy, While the controversial CICSPA bill, which would allow the government to monitor everyone's internet, is making its way through congress. Anonymous members coordinated their attacks on Friday through Twitter, using specific hastags to organize their posts. #opTPB #OpTrialAtHome http://www.ibtimes.c...court-optpb.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 When will the countries government learn their lesson. Government of US and UK and other countries believe that they can stop censorship by blocking file-sharing website, they should realize that people do have ways around it to access the webpage. The particular problem with the government is that they believe, that everything they doing is best for public. Instead they should be asking the public what they want, since public are the one who voted for the government. European and Western countries makes us assume that are tackling with the corruption, though they are corrputed themselves.. Politics is devils play ground, where the some people don't bother with religion and righteousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
