Whom can you really trust?

Whom can you really trust?
Anonymous are a group of people that fight for a free internet, like a digital Robin Hood. They don’t want the internet to be censored or controlled by the governments. Even though no one knows who they are, they have made pretty amazing things, and they have members from all over the world. One thing they have done that is rather well known is “Operation Payback”. It was a coordinated group of attacks by internet activist aimed towards banks who had cancel the payments to WikiLeaks. The cyber-attack they made was a so called DDoS. From this action, it followed a lot of attacks on other anti-piracy organizations like law firms and sites that has a connection with anti-piracy.  

Wikileaks is a site that exposes hidden and secret information from the high profile governments. I think it’s a good thing they do even though I’m not usually on that site or interested in what’s on there, but I don’t think the government should hide information from the public. We have rights to know what’s happening in the world and information should not be hidden. Of course they don’t hide everything but it’s most financial, political and military information that is hidden by the government. I actually think the government tries to manipulate the public a bit.  I think this is because they hide information about things they do, and only tell the public the things they want us to know and therefore we don’t get a real picture of how it really is.  


Everything that says on the news and are written on the internet or in newspapers are not always true either. That’s why you have to be critical when you reading or listening to the media. They might say the truth most of the times but maybe not the whole truth, because they might not have more information or might not be allowed by the government to tell specific things.

  1. Hej Daniel,

    Efter att ha läst din uppsats märker jag att du har tänkt och reflekterat över den del saker som filmen tog upp, bl.a. gruppen Anonymous, regeringens agerande och media. Du skriver bra och har potential att utveckla ditt skrivande och ditt språkbruk på engelska. Bra jobbat, fortsätt så.

    Angela.
