Anonymous is an idea, not a single group.

Maybe some early pranks. Most of what they do seems legit, fighting oppression and calling out bigots and disgusting people.
When the hacker, known as 4 chan, stole the celeb titty pictures
The fact they crackdown on sectarian activity like they’re the old jedi order.
The Scientology fightDamn, I completely misread the question, sorry about that.
While I’m not against an anonymous stand for what’s “right”, that really was the tipping point for a lot of changes on 4chan.
It really fuelled the idea that anonymous should have some sort of goal of justice rather than just doing things “for the lulz”. It normalized the concept of shamelessly bringing your internet culture of choice out into the real world regardless of appropriateness (most of the protests were really just 4chan irl meetups, not really protests).
The biggest change was the sheer amount of public attention it drew to the site. That brought in a huge influx of new users who didn’t care to conform to the existing board culture (for better or worse). Things changed considerably following all that mess.
You know what?
I completely misread the title, I read it as what action did you agree the most with.
And since that was the one big thing that came to mind, that is what I wrote, I am sorry for the confusion
Oh now it makes sense
