The battle of the 20 something nerds has begun. ISIS attacks on Paris were about that generation. The perps, thr victims, the communication technology were mostly theirs.

May they out-fox ISIS and do what Silicon Valley will and cannot do.

While I do not usually quote wikipedia, this may help us older folks get a better grasp of Anonymous for those of us who wonder. They are in a sense the Robin Hoods of the Internet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(group) . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_mask
I am grateful for my 20 something grandson who tuned me into them.
