Today’s strict privacy laws require that you protect consumer information. For this and many other reasons, it is often necessary to anonymize a data set, a blog article, a media report or a case study. Anonomizing a story or a case study can also help protect a confidential source or informant.
“You are doing work for a private Foundation and you believe that their case would make interesting reading for your students. The only problem—you are under a confidentiality agreement. With their permission, you anonymize the information and data and write up their story on your blog—sans anything that can point back to the original.”

Bunch of mc donalds employees who have seen v for vendetta one too many times. Some of them do it for the lulz which is acceptable, but some of them actually think they're some sort of revolutionary movement - lame.
Anonymous is made up of white arts degree students, who are never going to face any real challenge or hardship in their tame lives, so they compensate by trying to be part of anonymous.

Self proclaimed "Hackers on Steroids". Bunch of 14 year olds who probably never have been socially accepted at school. Usually making agressive comments towards African-Americans. Not exactly a powerful force due to the fact if a situation occurs in which their community (4chan) shuts down , they will whine like sissy bitches. Secondly , no one IRL knows about them , let alone cares lol. But hey , it's for the lulz right?
John: Dude , Anonymous is getting stronger.
Sam: You mean that group of faggots protesting outside of the Scientology thing?
John: Yea! Theyre gonna rule the world one day!
Sam: Oh please , not even Apple is scared of them.

Formerly known as the "final boss of the Internet", Anon has become simply a bunch of weeaboo faggots who wish to be a part of something.

A bunch of idiot trolls who hack websites and then they try to look cool with long monlogues like "we are anonymous, we do not forgive, we are the soul of the internet" and other shit like that.

United as one, divided by zero. We are Anonymous, We are legion, We do not forgive. We used to be actually cool, and worth the laugh and the reminder not to take things too seriously. But in our haste to remind others of their canny ability to ignore reality, we've expended all this energy, more energy than they do avoiding reality. So now we're kindof a sad mess of dumbasses still clinging to an outdated manifesto that may as well be the instructions on someone's VCR manual. We're sad. Sad sad people. We eat Doritos for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We write minimal annoying scripts that do fuckall except annoy people for 12 seconds. We're quick to brag about our endeavors because what press we've recieved has given us a false sense of validity. But don't fool yourselves. We're a bunch of sad, undersexed, testosterone-filled highschool dropouts who work fast food, live off our parents and smoke too much weed. Move along now. We've hit the snooze button on our 15 minutes of fame. Our voices are silent.
