If you haven’t heard, hacker collective anonymous has just hit and defaced 7 government websites in a span of hours (and as of writing, the story is still developing) to protest the recently passed Anti-Cybercrime law. We were curious what the normal citizenry thought about the attacks, so we took to Twitter to check out people’s sentiments. Surprisingly, a lot of Pinoy netizens are for Anonymous, and feel that the group is fighting on their behalf for the freedom of expression. Here’s what the crowd has had to say about Anon’s antics so far:
Anonymous Philippines have my support for Freedom Of Expression….Bravo to you!!!

If Anonymous Philippines can’t draw attention to the need to revisit the Cybercrime Prevention Act w/ these hacks, I don’t know what will.
