Anonymous launches #OpPedoChat, targets pedophiles
The hacktivists are back, targeting the users of forums and sites where illegal images of underage children are posted and shared.
In a YouTube video posted on July 8, a voice-to-speech program reads out a statement claiming that Anonymous "aims to diminish if not eradicate this plague from the Internet."
Calling it #OpPedoChat, the video explains: "Recently it has come to our attention that there has been a surge of websites dedicated to pedophiles for chat and picture sharing. These pedophiles openly advocate concepts like "man-boy love," stating that 8-year-old boys enjoy it and prey on their attention. This is not limited to boys; boards for little girls exist and operate with impunity. Child pornography is frequently traded and even innocent pictures of random children (at the beach, on a playground, in their homes) are publicly fantasized about."
It continues: "Anonymous aim to diminish if not eradicate this plague from the Internet. For the good of our followers, for the good of mankind, and for our own enjoyment we shall expel from the Internet and systematically destroy any such boards that continue to operate. Anonymous recognises this as a serious undertaking and do not expect it to be completed in a short period of time. Factions of Anonymous from all over the globe are participating in sub-operations. Information on pedophiles is being gathered and released."
