Anonymous (hacktivist group)

Anonymous is a loosely associated group of online activists and hacktivists known for their various cyber operations aimed at promoting social justice and freedom of information. They often advocate for causes like internet freedom, anti-censorship, and human rights, using hacking, website defacement, and other digital protests to raise awareness. Identified by their Guy Fawkes masks, they operate without a formal structure, which allows diverse individuals to join and contribute independently. While they have gained media attention for high-profile actions, their methods have sparked debates about ethics, legality, and the implications of cyber activism.
