Anonymous To Stage Worldwide Anti-Surveillance Protest
Targeting snoopy governments
Anonymous is planning a global protest tomorrow.
In a campaign called Operation Big Brother, the Worldwide Day Of Protest Against Surveillance appears to be plotting action from citizens in over a dozen countries in an organized effort against government use of surveillance systems such as Europe's INDECT and America's Trapwire.
Using a Google Map to pull in and track protesters by location, Operation Big Brother is supposed to visibly demonstrate what's going on during the protest. Yet little is known about how it will be implemented other than the suggestion, "IRL protest (…) unofficial information and defacing."
