Anonymous attacking IS supporters on Twitter by mixing in Anime Girls

Oh, how appropriate for me to make a post that involves anime girls.

 

Anonymous has been attacking various sources of IS propaganda and supporters by taking sites over, taking them down and generally being a nuisance to IS websites and profiles in an attempt to disrupt the flow of support for quite a while now. However, they seem to be taking a new, rather unusual approach to attacking Twitter accounts by mixing in Anime Girls with the propaganda in order to influence search engine results. Hopefully, searching for IS websites will just turn up a load of results for cat girls and giant mecha robots. 

 

 


Some accounts that Anonymous members won access to had their messages and images changed to show the ISIS-Chan anime character. Groups tackling IS propaganda online are starting to use images of the young girl in connection with the group's name and slogans in an attempt to dilute the results people get when they search for information about the group.

The Anonymous action comes after UK Prime Minister David Cameron unveiled a strategy to help tackle the "poison" of extremism. The package of measures included demands that ISPs and net firms do more to remove extremist material and identify who posted it.

 

Some of the accounts that they have managed to take over have already been taken down as a result of their actions, so it is clearly working. sending messages and updates with images of "ISIS-Chan" seems to be working.

I doubt it. If anything, it will improve support for anime, as it is being used to mock and disrupt IS propaganda and media outlets. 

 

Either way, it won't have any effect on how anime is perceived. If they photoshop an ISIS flag into a gay pride flag, people aren't suddenly going to hate homosexuals for supporting ISIS or anything.

Anonymous isn't one collection of people though, Anonymous could be random people around the world. Their always mistakenly perceived as one organization. 

Like watching Anime? Consider joining the unofficial LTT Anime Club Heaven Society~ ^.^

By their own admission, they aren't really an organization by classical definition. They claim anyone can do things in the name of Anonymous.

That is too funny , I wonder how ISIS feels about this ...

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

Probably the same way they feel about everything. "kill anyone who doesn't agree with us or submit to us"
