The hivemind of Reddit has begun to show political self-awareness through ad hoc crowd-sourcing in the fight against SOPA, NDAA, and other injustices. Contrary to popular belief, Anonymous is not a hacking collective, it is a conscious collective of which Reddit is now a part.

The right to online Anonymity is the keystone which supports the kind of collective political action now possible, pooling the resources of thousands. This is the ultimate freedom of speech. This is Anonymous. So-called "hacktivists" often target innocents under the name of Anonymous, doing great damage to a word which should be decidedly positive. Don't let these hackers poison our very language by ruining a word which could mean everything for internet freedom and freedom of speech.
