We reported yesterday on plans from the Anonymous hacking collective to attack Facebook on 5 November, promising to take the site down for the good of its users. Well, it seems there is some disagreement within Anonymous itself over whether this a.) will happen and b.) is a good idea. The company’s official Twitter account tweeted this yesterday: “To Press: Medias of the world… Stop lying! #OpFacebook is just another fake! We don’t ‘kill’ the messenger. That’s not our style.” However, later the account tweeted something rather different: “#OpFacebook is being organised by some Anons. This does not necessarily mean that all of #Anonymous agrees with it.” before following up with “We prefer to face the real power and not to face the same medias that we use as tools.” It seems Facebook may not have to batten down its digital hatches on 5 November as much as expected.
