Anonymous Asks Activists To Fight Pedophiles In 'Operation Deatheaters'
HughPickens.com writes The Independent reports that hacktivist group Anonymous, in a project named Operation DeathEaters, is calling for help in its fight against international pedophile networks, or what it calls the "paedosadist industry" and has issued a video instructing activists on how they can aid in the operation. The Anonymous project is intended to break what it says is a conspiracy of silence among sympathetic politicians, police and mainstream media to downplay the full extent of the online child sex industry. "The premise behind OpDeathEaters is to expose high level complicity, obstruction of justice and cover-up in the paedo-sadist industry in order to show the need for independent inquiries," says Heather Marsh, an online activist who is helping to co-ordinate the operation and describes herself as an "old friend" of Anonymous. The Anonymous database, which will be hosted on the GitHub online repository, promises to collate cases from all around the world, cross-referencing connections within sub-groups including the police, armed forces, schoolteachers, politicians, media, academics and religious organisations. The database's ultimate purpose has yet to be fully determined, but in the first instance the group says it wants to shut down the child-sex industry by "dismantling the power structure which held it there" and by "educating to create a cultural change".
The group is calling on volunteers to help with the ongoing work, which has been divided into three steps. The first is about collecting "all the factual information," second is to "share that information as widely as possible," and the third step is "to set up an independent, internationally linked, inquiry into all the areas which do not appear to have been investigated properly." Activists point to the muted media coverage given to a recent case in Washington DC in which Michael Centanni, a senior Republican fundraiser, was charged with child sex offences after investigators traced transmissions of child pornography to his computers in his basement. The case was not covered by The Washington Post or the New York Times, and was only picked up by a local NBC affiliate state and The Washington Examiner, a small conservative paper in the city. According to the court filings, Centanni was found in possession of 3,000 images, many apparently filmed in his own bedroom, including one showing a man raping a five-year-old girl who cries "no" and "mommy" while the man says "good baby" and "stop crying," according to one filing.

There are many things Anonymous does which are morally dubious. But, I have to say, I can't really take issue with this vigilantism.
After all "think of the children!". But uh.. actually, don't. It's kinda disturbing. Or do.. since, it's disturbing, and one shouldn't bury one's head in the sand because.. it's hard to think about.
What is the purpose of the Anonymous?
To catch the pedophiles?
That's the job for the cops
If the cops can't do the job, what makes you think those nerds who call themselves "Anonymous" can do anything different?
I know nothing about the particular case that they are referring to. But the fact that it wasn't widely reported is actually a good thing. Being charged is not the same as being convicted. There are too many cases of people being tried in the media and having their lives destroyed when they actually haven't done anything wrong.
Given people are so fucking stupid they will attack paediatricians thinking they are paedophiles just sums up the wider mobs inability to effectively deal with the information.
Many top level elites deserve to be dragged from office and put in jail forever.
And not just for these crimes, but for basically everything which is wrong with the world today.
But this sort of corruption reveal might just trigger the kind of revolutionary anger needed.
I hope Anonymous has thought about lots of protection plans, because this will get bloody and dirty fast if they start to pick up momentum.
Things to look for:
-FOX News personalities coming up with apologist talking points to defend child predator scum.
-People believing those points in surprisingly large numbers.
Like everyone I think fighting pedopornograhy is a good thing, but what will happen if Anonymous post something wrong about someone?
You're exactly why this is a bad idea. You're so blinded by your hatred, you're a useful idiot for anyone who wants someone eliminated based on shakey planted evidence.
yeah, they are like, high ranking and everything. High ranking people never do bad stuff that would require them to step down, or go to prison. Only low ranking people do. I think he's jealous of their success, or whatever phrase they use when someone accuses someone high ranking of crime or social misbehavior
Not all pedophiles act on their urges. The ones that realize their urges cannot be acted upon and thus live their lives suffering with such an affliction should be commended, not referred to as "scum" just because of an attraction they probably wish they didn't have.
I don't buy it for a second.
"sympathetic"? No one is sympathetic to pedophiles.
Troll is not a replacement for I disagree.
What recent event? The one where he is accused of having sexual relations with a willing partner over the age of consent in all the jurisdictions where it is alleged to have occurred? In one of the three alleged occurrences she was even over the age of consent in the jurisdiction where she has decided to go forum shopping!
This also looks a lot like a slightly unpopular kid going and beating up the most unpopular kid to make everyone else like them more.
Pedophiles are like Nazis: They are widely assumed to be completely and thoroughly evil and thus worthless human beings. If you are going to pick a group to engage in vigilante activity against this is just about the perfect one, because who is going to going to stand up and say 'that's not right'. Unlike other extremely unpopular groups like Human traffickers or actual no-Nazis, pedophiles are not generally gun toting violent lunatics, so the risk of being murdered in retaliation is pretty low.
If you want to break the law to try to uphold the law, this is a logical choice, I guess.
HA! I just wasted some of your bandwidth with a frivolous sig!
Suspected != guilty and if they go around publicizing suspects or even people who the police have named as suspects or "persons of interest" who turn out to be innocent, it will hurt Anonymous's own reputation big-time.
What they - and everyone else - can and should do is make sure that if you do run across child porn or links to what you think is child porn, you immediately report it to all relevant authorities and that if the authorities seem to be ignoring a case, that all relevant news outlets are notified. If the news outlets seem to be participating in a cover up, notify other news outlets, but be careful: What looks like a "news outlet conspiracy of silence" may be because the FBI is in the middle of a sting and the feds have asked the news outlets to keep quiet until the trap is sprung. If Anonymous's well-meaning attempts to bring things into the open result in the sting being aborted or going bust, well, that would be bad.
On a side-note:
* Do not go "looking for" child porn - you could wind up being charged and convicted yourself. If you are wondering what it's like, my best educated guess is it is like looking at images of concentration-camp children: 1) the underlying event that happened to land on camera haunts the person in the photograph for his or her life, 2) the image itself is likely to be so stomach-churning that it will haunt you for a long time, and even if it doesn't, 3) the knowledge of what happened to that child should haunt you for a long long time (if it doesn't, either you have grown jaded and I'm sad for you, or you need to talk to someone because your conscience may be less than that of the average adult's and this diminished conscience may lead you to hurt someone without realizing it and/or without caring)
* If you routinely do things in your fight against child-porn that put you at a higher risk of running across it, as some of these Anonymous guys likely are, take technical steps to reduce your risk (use a text-only browser, for instance), and have a lawyer on retainer. Ask your lawyer what steps you need to take so when the police do come knocking it's painfully obvious to the police, the jury, and to everyone else that you are not intending to actually download or possess the stuff but sometimes it gets through your technical barriers.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuous_Pedophiles
So there's a conspiracy of high ranking officials worldwide who all are in the same child abuse ring? I wonder if they've been presented with the counter-evidence of ummmmmmmm no there's not. They're going after something that doesn't exist. Yeah, I'm sure NBC didn't cover a story well enough because there's a giant pro-child abuse lobby working for them. Are they even serious? No wonder these people don't have full time IT jobs to occupy their times.
Only 45 replies and we are Godwin'd. On a serious note, I think your 2nd paragraph is unfortunately true on a practical level. So is your first, for that matter.

... Anonymous need help?
Since the real Anonymous got sent to jail.
This is a publicity stunt.
It little behooves the best of us to comment on the rest of us.
I was under the impression that this kind of thing was reduced to a pretty small problem and that very little new child pornography was being made
This was practically true in the early 1980s, before digital tech got cheap.
For a few years, the postal inspectors were catching each other far more than they were catching real child-porn purveyors.
Prior to the very late 1980s, child porn was *arguably* legal in at least some parts of the United States. Congress changed the laws and the feds started cracking down big-time on international and postal child-porn traffic (this was in the early days of FedEx) and the open-market importing of child-porn-containing magazines from abroad through the mail system ended for good as a result.
The advent of cheap/free ways of getting a photo into a computer and sending it to anyone who wanted it with a low risk of getting caught (at least a low risk in the 1980s and early 1990s) allowed the problem to go from almost nothing to whatever it is today.

Well If you're Pete Townsend of The Who you can just claim (after the fact) that it's "research" you were doing, no charges brought.
It's true, it is no accident that everything Anonymous does now is in line with our foreign policy and law enforcement objectives. Maybe even more clever than that, because pedophilia is a touchy subject internationally with our allies, many of whom have no problem selling little girls to rich men and see people not in their class as totally expendable. By having this seeming independent group of "anarchists" take on those touchy issues, you have ample plausible deniability, and you get your objectives met with relatively little effort and exposure.
Really I think it's a good use of all those little script kiddie punks' time and effort. Do something useful instead of just undermining our own institutions.
The BBC covered up a serial child rapist. He was well connected to politicians.
Maybe Anonymous's next project will be to write a computer program to help with this, so the Chief Censor in NZ won't have to wade through 19,980 not-quite-the-worst images while looking for the 20 worst ones.

Of course, it's (mostly) legal there
As they say on Wikipedia, "citation needed."
--
I assume by "legal" you mean legal according to national, regional, and local laws. If you mean legal as enforced due to the cops just not caring or the cops being sufficiently bribed, well, I won't argue that one way or the other. If there are "self-governing" or "lawless" areas in Saudi Arabia then I won't argue with you with respect to those areas either.

And how are you going to associate those hashes with anything real, unless you have the database of what is real? Law enforcement can work with hashes, because they have a legal exception to actually also have the real images. Anybody else doing this is just a CP owner.
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
I am swayed.
I'm not. I grow tired of people treating adults as if their lives are worth less than the lives of children, and I will not sacrifice our fundamental liberties in exchange for 'safety' from bogeymen, even if that safety is real. Freedom is what's important.
As the facts come forth we will know more. If the accusations are true then let the offenders be castrated and tortured to death. I will volunteer to do it with a rusty blade.
There's absolutely no accountability or standards of evidence. Even if they are true, though, by revealing that you support the death penalty (and torture), you've revealed yourself to be a mere barbarian ruled by their emotions and desires for vengeance.
Most so-called "child porn" doesn't involve infants, it involves sexually mature persons who happen to be under some arbitrary, country-dependent age limit, and for a straight male to be attracted to a young female who has just reached sexual maturity is a strong biological drive. Our legislation on child protection and child porn has little to do with biology, statistics, or reason, it has to do with fear mongering and hysteria over a horrible but rare crime.
Now, as someone who has always been attracted to older guys, I really don't care about any of this (well, when I was 14, it would have been nice if the age of consent had been a little lower, but that was long ago). But I find these misrepresentations and this fear mongering offensive because irrational fear among parents ends up causing an erosion of our privacy and civil liberties, and it diverts resources from far more important issues.
Any wannabe pseudo-subversive can upload a YouTube video and claim (correctly) to be Anonymous. But it seems that most of the original network that made up Anonymous seems to be either locked up, moved on to other endeavours, or went back to /b and 8chan...
The few that are left, and whoever they've managed to attract, seem to consist mostly of the loony, Alex Jones-listening extremist fringe-elements, if this "Operation Deatheaters" is to be taken seriously.
Sure Anonymous... Go ahead and try to find your imaginary pedophile super villains.
We'll be waiting for news about these huge networks of pedophile police officers, powerful politicians, businessmen, etc. that pull the strings and keep their evil conspiracy so well hidden!
But you already know, that all they'll uncover will be allegations, accusations and maybe doxx of some poor saps who had some pedo pics, got arrested and convicted and did their time already.

Since Anonymous have apparently been taken over by the loony, Alex-Jones listening fringe, I suppose that "Operation Inside Job" or "Operation find the REAL 9/11 perpetrators" is next. Thats the logical next step, if you believe that huge, powerful pedophile networks are being protected by "a conspiracy of silence among sympathetic politicians, police and mainstream media" isn't it?
The problem is that if someone will make a serious progress... is it likely that he/she will be called pedophile himself/herself? Will it require for the activists to keep samples of the problematic photos?
It is something that will require careful and well thought through handling, that much is certain; and it will probably involve cooperating with the police. It is not wise to risk looking like you've been sitting on a stash of pedophile materials.
But I think there is a more fundamental problem, when it comes to pedophilia, which is that it is surrounded by taboos, to the extent that it actually difficult to research. And as long as we don't understand it well enough, we are essentially working blind. For one thing, we don't really know why some become pedophiles, so it is hard to guess what is the appropriate course of action, once you've caught them. Take punishment, for example - is it likely to work at all? And if punishment makes no difference, should we simply lock them up and throw away the key? Would it be better (for society) to euthanise them? Punishment only works if the person being punished accepts that they have done anything wrong and that they need to change their course of actions in order to become part of society.
Another, probably more important problem is that we still understand too little about why and how being abused sexually as a child is damaging, and that makes it more difficult to help the victims overcome their traumas.
You just failed civilised society 101: We. Do Not. Do. Vigilantism.
Administrating justice is the government's job, on the presumption it'll do it fairly. You might look at McCarthyism to see what happens if the fairness goes away, and the slightest suspicion is enough to ruin someone's life for the rest of his life. Here, you just have to point at somebody and cry "pedo!" and that's all he wrote.
The accused might as well step out, there's nothing but eternal losing battle left. And that quite regardless of whether the accusations are in any way warranted. So innocents will go down, just like in the commie-hunts. But that was with hearings and things, this is just over-eager "hacktivist" kids scraping together whatever data they might find. This is an online version of playing with wd40 and lighters in a paper, wood, rope, and oil factory. Everyone involved ought to know better.
You have a point, though: The whole thing is hard to think about, because invariably our lizard brain steps in and people run entirely on "must! protect! the! children!" emotions. There's no thought here, just lizard brains running on instinct. And that is a very effective way to pave the road to hell. So step back and actually think this time.
but fight pedophile criminals.
That being said, i doubt that i wnat to put justice in this respect in anonymous hands.
Yes... And Muhammed the prophet of Islam married a ten year old, which would undoubtedly have labeled him a pedophile in today's world. Jewish law also doesn't forbid marrying a girl under (today's) age of consent. I'm sure it's not much of a surprise to well rounded readers of Slashdot, that the moral and legal standards a thousand years ago, or more, are quite different from our own. Do you have a point to make?
C'mon /. editors. The example at the end of this summary paragraph is really graphic, jarring and terrifying. It's a little much for a front-page headline summary and frankly unnecessary to the subject of the story anyway. A little bit of journalistic couth would be appreciated.

the ongoing work, which has been divided into three steps.
None of which is validation of the information.
It'll be interesting to watch how much of this is going to end up being disclosure, how much a witch hunt and how much targeted disinformation. It's already far too popular to destroy peoples' lives by accusing them of kiddie porn, now you can make an anonymous account on Github and add your enemies.
We seem to forget too often that the more vile the crime, the more sure you need to be that you actually have the guilty party. Falsely accusing someone of a petty theft is bad, but it will be forgotten. Falsely accusing someone of murder, rape or kiddie porn, not so much.
Assorted stuff I do sometimes: Lemuria.org
Since pedophiles also didn't "choose to be born this way", why the hostility and dehumanization, even in the case of abstinent pedophiles who attend (the limited) number of programs for them, and don't download illegal images?
The fact that there is such a thing as "illegal images" is disgusting, and in the US (despite what our authoritarian courts have said), unconstitutional.
As for why all the demonization: The matter involves children. These people are ruled by their primitive instincts to such a degree that anyone who even slightly looks at their children in a way they don't approve of becomes a demon that is going to everyone. Forget the constitution and forget fundamental liberties; anything measure that these people think will increase the safety of children is acceptable, because they believe that our fundamental freedoms are less important than safety, a mindset that leads to tyranny.
These people are ruled by their primitive instincts to such a degree that anyone who even slightly looks at their children in a way they don't approve of becomes a demon that is going to kill everyone.*
The guy must have something to hold over the heads of some media bigshots. I can't see any other reason why the two top Democratic party media properties would pass on giving the Republicans a black eye like this.

Not the purposefully coordinated kind where everyone meets in a dark room somewhere to plot their actions, but the kind where everyone sharing fundamentally rotten values leads to effectively coordinated flock behaviour.
That's philosophy. Ideology. Worldview.
There is no need for a conspiracy to cover up anything - if everyone KNOWS not to be a "snitch". Or a "rat". Or a "stool pigeon".

Less than 20% of women in the US identify themselves as feminists*. In Europe the highest support is among Italian women, where only 31% would call themselves a feminist. So your irrational fear of feminists is groundless. They've managed to alienate most of the people they claim to represent, and outside of a few hotbeds of revolutionary Marxism in a handful of universities, they have become an irrelevant footnote and relic of the past. Like hippies or The abstinence movement. Moreover, they're also completely irrelevant to the subject at hand, so perhaps your trolling is needed elsewhere? *Not to be confused with equality regardless of sex, which around two-thirds support.
But they are.
No, they aren't. There is no objective value to someone's life. A child's life is no more important than my own.
while children are potentially part of the solution
Everyone is potentially part of the solution. You may say that the chances that an adult could change their views are slim, but I'd say the chances that a child could be part of the solution when they grow up is just about as slim.
You may say that the chances that an adult could change their views are slim, but I'd say the chances that a child could be part of the solution when they grow up is just about as slim.
Ah, but the adult has to change their views and accomplish something, the bar is much higher.

And they are harming their children that way. Children in the US these days are locked-in, always supervised, never learn to be autonomous or make their own decisions. The adults this produces are crippled. All because of some imaginary people that abduct children to rape them, which basically never happens for any practical purpose. When all police statistics say that by far the most danger to children comes from their parents and "strangers" do not even make the statistics, they are so rare as a source of danger. What these people fail to realize is that _they_ are the primary danger to their children, or they are violently misdirecting to others because they _know_ it.
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
This whole thing is not credible at all. After all, some of the supposedly abused children would have remembered later and some pictures would have shown up. A large conspiracy cannot be kept completely secret, history has shown that time and again.

I've lost my taste for the death penalty over the years (in my 20's, I would have gladly told you to put any convicted pedophile to death as soon as humanly possible). It's the result of a system that creates criminals only to punish them. That's why I agree with you in theory, but in practice, a lot of the bite gets lost by the fact that the penal system continues to punish, not rehabilitate (you surround a criminal with criminals, the only thing you ever produce is someone who knows how to interact with criminals). And then society continues to punish.
Not that I can terribly blame society for mistrusting criminals. Again, the penal system doesn't do a good job of rehab. Some criminals return to the cycle of criminal behavior because sometimes, they have no idea what else to do.
It makes me truly sad that as a society, we're at an impasse when it comes to criminals. You can rehab the hell out of someone, but even the most self-aware criminals know there's not much hope of a regular life for them.
And no, I have no idea how to fix that. I wish I did, but I suspect there's no money in fixing that problem even if I had a few decent ideas.
Some people don't believe in fairies. I don't believe in The Patriarchy.
Actually, there is no way this can go right. I expect that we will see people having planted evidence on their machines, vigilante murder, false accusations in spades, etc. This may be the absolutely worst thing they could do.
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
Sounds about as credible, as when people say that "a lot of black people are violent by nature...." Without offering any other proof than their own observations.
The group is calling on volunteers to help with the ongoing work, which has been divided into three steps. The first is about collecting "all the factual information,"
So how will we know the difference between the Anon. warriors for justice and any other paedophile collecting material?
Have gnu, will travel.
Obviously a Harry Potter reference, but it seems like an odd choice. Perhaps after shutting down all the pedophiles, they can find the secret to immortality, and purge the mudbloods from the world too.

Political correctness is really just herd psychology pushed by insecure people who desperately seek social conformity.
"For one thing, we don't really know why some become pedophiles"
Sure we do.
Many pedophiles mimic the abuse that they suffered as a child.
And many, many more pedophiles are coerced into it via old-boys clubs, fraternities, secret societies, etc.
It is part of being a 'privileged' member of the club.
"Play ball and keep our secrets and you will do well in life and your career. Expose us and we will destroy you."
Even Freemasons must engage in sexual relations with other members in order to become a member of the 'brotherhood" - albeit with adult members, not children. I have heard that pedophilia occurs higher up in the degrees (Shriners) but I don't know that for a fact.
Homosexual activities - aka "brotherly love" - are part of the initiation of a 3rd degree, or "master mason". Interestingly, the Masons are known to recruit "good, upstanding, financially secure, (heterosexually) married men".
Women cannot become real Freemasons because the sexual initiation rites at the 3rd degree require the initiate to have a penis.
Political correctness is really just herd psychology pushed by insecure people who desperately seek social conformity.
Unfortunately the elite pedophile rings are 100% true. It is an epidemic, and it is very, very sad.
Political correctness is really just herd psychology pushed by insecure people who desperately seek social conformity.
I agree. And i've also wondered if Anonymous wasn't created by NSA/Mossad/GCHQ. It would explain a lot.

Agree. A rusty vice.

Members of pedophile rings are protected by the system. Plain and simple.

Provide a link to a credible reference. Because you are wrong.
about targeting people like this and seeking to defame them and accuse them of things, while at the same time hiding and having no fear of repercussion for what mistakes you make and the innocent people you will inevitably harm along the way.
Vigilantes aren't heroes; they aren't seeking justice of any sort, they are not out to actually change anything.
All they really accomplish is destruction and the induction of fear.
Pedophilia is bad. But so is the use of confidential underage informants by the police in the USA every day. DA's and prosecutors take part in this fiasco, children have died as a result, yet nobody really cares.
If you're going to take the high road when it come to the harming of children, start with the war on drugs and the cops, district attorneys, the DEA, and the courts role in the systematic exploitation of children to justify the militarization of the police force and SWAT teams and bloated law enforcement budgets.
Insisting that pedophiles that have acted on their proclivities be convicted based on things called evidence and due process shouldn't make you a target by an organized group of anonymous basement dwellers.
Do you have children? Will you NOT be a barbarian clamoring for vengeance if they were molested or raped?
Tell you what, get some children of your own and THEN you can have an opinion.
I will be a barbarian and get some vengeance upon any SOB who dares touch my children; if they are YOURS I will be very civilized...
