I read some really good poems by anonymous is literature class, I think he or she should concentrate their efforts on more constructive and creative things like the arts.

I think most of anonymous got too old to stay at mom and dads house, so they were forced to get full time jobs. Ain't got time for online shenanigans.

it's hard to say because they're technically anonymous and don't take credit for any crimes so any unclaimed crimes in the past like 5 years i think are prob fair game

i think their big claim to fame is doing something about scientology but scientology is as far as i know operating with no issues whatsoever so ... yeah i think the answer is nothing. shockingly they hve accomplished nothing and will go down in the history as... well they wont because they literally could not fill a footnote in a history book with things theyve done in the world

lmao remember when they said they were going to take down the Mexican drug cartels and then like the cartels hired even better hackers to find out where the hackers were hacking from and then they killed them and hung their bodies from overpasses?

that was probably one of the best IRL owns that I can think of

There used to be a somewhat funny picture of protesters from around the world. They were all getting violent and serious, but the American ones are two dorks in guy fawkes masks sitting on a bench.

Scientology got their tax exempt status revoked but that was more the irs telling them to go gently caress themselves than anon doing anything.

Not really, but what do you expect from a bunch of scared noobshits hiding behind a keyboard acting like internet heroes and trying to gain respect from actual people... Like watching a big group of loudmouthed emos.

they pretty much just put their name out there as a hacker group that wants to get behind some causes so if anyone ever gets to power trying to change stuff for the better they could be useful but as an entity on their own they're kind of a headless chicken

Welp, most media companies would by too chicken poo poo to make documentaries about Scientology before Anonymous had their little autistic freakout and not we've got like Going Clear. I think that's about the biggest effect they've had.

My recollection is that Hal Turner, a white supremacist podcaster who spewed Stromfront-grade bullshit was found by Anonymous and live raids on his podcast ensued pretty much immediately. This spiraled into the usual charade of doxing followed by pizza, clowns and prostitutes arriving at his door without him being able to do much about it, on top of the continuous disarray that made his podcast virtually dysfunctional as far as ping-ponging hate speech with his listeners (at one point he had to hire a secretary who filtered out the obvious trolls in real-time, so Anonymous adjusted by posing as real listeners but making their affiliation known by using memes and 4chan slang in their inquiries).
