The impending threat of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement and the implications on our freedom and access to information and resources has brought us to this point. This is an intended declaration of war, we will not stop until this global legislation has been terminated.

We will deploy the full extent of our resources to ensure the death of this agreement which threatens net neutrality and anonymity and would give power to governments wishing to snoop on our internet usage as well as the right to interfere.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.

We do not forgive.

We do not forget.
Expect us.
