You were part of Anonymous? You mean the LulzSec group or were you in some other group?

Anonymous, yes. LulsSec was a separate rogue group comprised mostly of idiot 12 YOs who thought they were hackers but were just a bunch of know nothing kids. Part of being part of the Arab spring was using my internet and phone services to be part of a Bridge that allowed Egypt to have Internet access to the outside world when the government cut it off. That was my part in it; helping the Egyptians to have Internet access to the outside world so they could show the whole world what was going on there.

Ah, so you're a Tor enthusiast? Sorry to inform you but I am not a fan of Tor. I do think it's cool that you got to help people.

No, I'm not now nor have I ever been a fan of Tor. Using an ordinary VPN was sufficient for what I needed to do. Like you, I'm not a big fan of Tor, either, but then, again, the Dark Web isn't what the sensationalists would have you believe. Altogether it's a really boring place full of really boring scientific web pages, private clubs and what have you. I don't know how many drug dealers or kiddie porn sites (cringe) are on it since I never searched for any of that shit.
