Anonymous Starts 'Uncensored' Social Network AnonPlus

by Staff Writer, 18 Jul, 2011 News

Hacktivist group Anonymous has started a new social networking platform after being banned from Google+.

Google has recently banned some accounts from Google+ and even deleted some Gmail accounts belonging to Anonymous, citing terms of use violations.

Undeterred, Anonymous declared that it will create its own social network, called AnonPlus, where everyone will be Anonymous and there will be no fear of censorship.

“This is one social network that will not tolerate being shut down, censored, or oppressed - even in the face of blackout. We the people have had enough...enough of governments and corporations saying what's best for us - what's safe for our minds. The sheep era is over. The interwebz are no longer your prison,” an Anonymous blog post said.

The AnonPlus website is now live but only with a huge page, which contains a link to the AnonPlus Dev Forum. The group said that the website will be launched fully at some time and will present a new way to do social networking anonymously.

“This project is not overnight and will take many of those out there who simply want a better internet. We will not be stopped by those looking to troll or those willing to stop the spreading of the truth,” the message on the AnonPlus home page read.
