It is all fun and games until your name ends up on one of these lists. Now go prove you are not involved with (fill in the blank of whatever horrible group you have been named with). Explain to the calm, rational twitter/facebook horde that it is all just a big mistake and you have nothing to do with those people. Good luck.

Perception is reality, but we've been dealing with that since long before you could infiltrate someone's private life with couple keyboard strokes.

I've seen this happen to politcians for a while now, enough so that I'm wiling to accept every single one of them has some kind of dirt on them. Does that mean we have the right to know everything about them, even their tax returns?

I respect people's opinion on not picking and choosing who has the right to privacy and when. Problem is we've been doing this for a while now, right or wrong.

does this mean they'll stop wearing hoods?

Anonymous carries out its threat, releases identities of alleged Ku Klux Klan members

 

Members of the hacker group Anonymous released what they called a list of Ku Klux Klan members and sympathizers on Thursday.

The document, uploaded on Pastebin, contains hundreds of names and aliases. Among them is Frazier Glenn Miller, the white supremacist who killed three people at a Jewish community center in Kansas City.

 

The release came three days after the group was mistakenly credited with posting a separate list containing the names of several current lawmakers, like Sens. Dan Coats (R-IN), John Cornyn (R-TX), John Hardy Isakson (R-GA), and Thom Tillis (R-NC). None of them were named in the document posted on Thursday.

 

Similarly, none of the mayors identified in the prior release from a non-Anonymous Twitter account — Paul Fraim of Norfolk, Virginia; Jim Gray of Lexington, Kentucky; Kent Guinn of Ocala, Florida; Tom Henry of Fort Wayne, Indiana; and Madeline Rogero of Knoxville, Tennessee — appeared in Thursday’s document, which can be seen below.

The real list is much less interesting than the fake one

Looks like they identified at least one guy as an FBI informant. Dang.
