How come nobody has pointed out the absurd ignorance of how Anonymous works evident in this? Anonymous isn’t a coherent group with a leadership or shared goals it’s just a Smart Mob.
This misrepresentation is fairly standard in media coverage of Anonymous; it seems like they want to avoid the concept of decentralized organizations for some reason. Maybe it’s uncomfortable for people to think that a disorganized mob is collectively smarter than they are?

Well there are operators on the IRC channel. And hacktivist Anonymous is mostly IRC anonymous, not 4chan anonymous.
