Your mission, should you chose to accept it.

The US gov’t is going to pass a bill that will allow them to censor any copyrighted content that they think may have infringing activity.

"The Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to pass the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act ( COICA), moving the legislation one step closer to reality. The law would give the U.S. Attorney General’s office the right to shut down websites that it deems are participating in piracy and "infringing activities" without due process or proof that a copyright "crime" has been committed.

The law would allow the government to blacklist a website that had “no demonstrable, commercially significant purpose or use other than” sharing unauthorized copyrighted material. Sites would be blacklisted from the Domain Name System, credit card companies would be forbidden to process payments, and advertisers would be banned from placing ads on the site.”

Tum/b/lr, this is your first mission. Anonymous has a plan and we need your help.

Operation: Anonymous is in effect. (No artwork, no posters, no nothing… cute images of tumblr-tan and anon raiding being the exception)

NO POSTERS ABOUT THIS OPERATION. This needs to be disseminated in a way that can’t be traced to us.

Phase 1: Post info about this bill EVERYWHERE. Tumblr-tans, this is your first mission. This is not about the states, this is about the entire internet. Make this viral as shit. Get the entire internet talking.

Phase 2: Get the right wing media involved. Contact Glen Beck saying how concerned you are that the government has seen fit to take away our freedoms. Rage about how this is just another perfect example of dems loving big government.

Phase 3: Get the left involved. Contact Keith Oberman. Say how it’s such a shame that the Republicans keep wanting to control every aspect of our lives, etc. Use your own judgement.

The trick here is to get both the left and the right arguing about who’s idea this all was. Make both extremes distance themselves. Make it seem as though this will cripple anyone’s re-election chances.

Phase 4: Second wave of social media. Point out how it’s a shame that after this passes it’s only a matter of time before porn is taken off the internet. That’ll get the public involved.

Phase 5: Second wave of senatorial contact. Make it clear *POLITELY* that any senator who supports this will not be getting re-elected.

If all five phases are done, IN ORDER, even if this does cross the president’s desk, he won’t be able to sign it lest he fuck up his re-election chances. Remember. This is an UNDERGROUND op. No fucking anon posters. We can’t let this be traced to us.

Disseminate the information quickly. Post fliers IRL. We need to act swiftly and decisively.


Godspeed tum/b/lrs

And god help us all.

Posting on /b/. A survival guide.

First off, understand that this is a tentative peace. Fuck it up and there will be bloodshed. The key to understanding what just happened is simple. 4chan has temporarily suspended hostilities toward tumblr in the wake of some truly amusing original content, namely 4chumblr. I say temporarily for a reason. The newfags (new users) were the ones who raided you. Our boards were nuked by our own mod team in an attempt to prevent the raid and cover their asses. This was confirmed by our admin. Understand this. Any posting regarding any supposed victory by tumblr will be met with swift, brutal and widespread vengeance. However, your influx into our sanctum has been met largely with amusement from the hivemind. There is potential here. If you folks do this rite, we have a shot at becoming something both beautiful and utterly terrifying. What you lot need to remember though is that this is a very restricted clique. There are rules. Violate them, and we violate you. Here’s what you NEED to know.

On /b/ there are newfags and oldfags. Newfags are annoying, reuse stale memes, and are the cancer that is destroying /b/. Oldfags are the ones you need to be pants shittingly terrified of. Because if you anger THEM… well. Bad things happen. In short, the weakest and most annoying part of /b/ is what raided you. Over the next few days any lag, we’ll be back shortly, etc, is probably due to the DDoS attacks. Believe me. Our lazors are still being charged. The oldfags are the scary hackers. And they will gleefully fuck your shit up if you give them half a reason. Newfags hack accounts. Oldfags hack LIVES. Imagine for a moment, your social security # being flashed all over the internet. Those naked pictures on your hard drive mailed to your parents. Every dark secret, every shame, every embarrassment held up for the world to see. This is what they are capable of. Proceed with caution. However, at the moment you are amusing them. Keep it up. As I said though, there are rules.

Firstly, avoid stupid questions. Just because we fag up our own boards doesn’t give you the right to.

Secondly, if someone says tits or gtfo, tits is the appropriate response. Many of you ladies have grasped this concept wonderfully. Keep up the good work gals.

Thirdly, there is no favoriting threads. If you want to follow a thread, put noko in the e-mail field. When you post it will redirect to that thread.

Fourthly, do not. EVER. Put your real e-mail address ANYWHERE on /b/. Make a temp one if you must, but never post it in a thread. Instant messaging information is unlikely to get you destroyed, provided there will be sex involved. If your powerword is discovered, or your dox are found, unfortunate things could result.

Fifth, you are all newfags, but so are 99% of us, including me.

sixth, on 4chan and /b/ in particular, you are anonymous by default. That is your mask, but it is also your shield. Anyone NOT wearing that mask will be purged from the collective. I realize a lot of you have identities here. Do not take them with you when you visit 4chan. The risks far outweigh the rewards.

seventh, understand something important. If the internet had a dark back alley with syringes and muggers, /b/ would be it. If the internet had an asshole, /b/ would be the dark center. Right now you are amusing us. You are safe while that lasts. But /b/ is fickle. If you press your luck you will be destroyed utterly.

eighth, > makes whatever is typed after it appear in green.

That isn’t everything, but it’s all I can think of at the moment and it should be enough to allow your continued survival.

But understand… any grinds to a halt you see on tumblr… any 404s, we’ll be right backs, etc… are probably due to Anon. That’s likely us. During the war our mods basically nuked the boards to prevent organization. However, like any good terrorist group, we operate in cells. Many of which are ignoring the cease fire. In order to reach them. Be cute. Post pics. Post kittens. We love kittens on /b/. Seriously. We invented longcat and caturday for fuck’s sake.

Just understand that you are genuinely at risk here. *I’m* putting myself at risk just posting this. The hivemind must be treated with respect and fear. Our mods are on your side and a LOT of slack is being cut by everyone on 4chan to you guys. Just please don’t fuck this up. /b/ has cancer. Tumblr may be the cure. Above all, post original content. Do this right, and we’ll all see a brighter tomorrow. 4chumblr amuses me, which is why I’m providing you this info. Do with it what you will.
