Anonymous against neo-Nazis



Anonymous launched the site Nazi- leaks.net, which will publish the names of participants in the neo-Nazi movement in Germany, information on activities and other personal data.

The operation received the code name "Blitzkrieg". The site was launched a couple of weeks ago, but received publicity not so long ago.

Nazism theme has repeatedly affected the IT-sphere. In 2001, Yahoo had a showdown with France because of an auction to sell Nazi relics (Yahoo auctioned Nazi bonds, Mein Kampf and similar items that were banned in some countries), and in 2010 Microsoft cut out the swastika image from the service XBox Live.

As often happens when talking about Anonymous, there is always a part of the group that will condemn the actions of other participants. Members of the Hamburg group called launching a site a bad idea. Here is what they e-mailed to the Deutsche Welle medical company:

“The best way to influence people like the Nazis is ridicule.”

In connection with the recent actions of hackers, the question more often arises - is it possible to justify their actions by saying that their victims are not from the category of “Good guys” (pedophiles, crazy copywriters, etc)?

According to the same Deutsche Welle, even haters of Nazism criticized the hackers act. Simon Raphael, the creator of one of the anti-Nazi sites, said it would be great to “remove [Nazi] dirt from the Web,” but it was not worth it to publish personal information without the knowledge and permission of the owner.

What does Habr think - that the law is one for all, and, no matter how deceitful and vile your enemy / opponent may be, you need to fight it only with legal methods, or do you need to maximally make known all the atrocities and personalities of the people who committed them by any means?
