GABRIELLA COLEMAN

Part 3

Gabriella explains the history of Anonymous and how its focus turned from trolling on the web in the name of anonymity and LULZ towards activism in defense of file sharing and against copyright. At that time, subgroups were created such as Chanology, that garishly and effectively protested both on and off-line against the sect of Scientology. Soon after, AnonOps was created by participants to develop operations to counter the ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement).
