In the article “Anonymous ‘Hacktivists’ Strike At ISIS, Dozens Of Militant Recruiting Sites Knocked Offline” by Jonathan Vankin from The Inquistr, the main idea is that the Anonymous hackers threaten the horrific terrorist group ISIS. Evidence of this can be seen in a direct statement from Anonymous in which the group warns ISIS that there is no safe place online for the group. This is supported by the fact that the infamous hacker group claims to have taken a jab at the brutal “Islamic” group by taking down months of recruitment pages on Facebook. The hackers have also leaked unedited videos of ISIS members demonstrating mediocre skills with basic weaponry. The author goes on to explain who Anonymous is and gives some background information including the Anonymous self-description of its members. Anonymous describes itself as an organization of all races, genders, religions, financial positions, etc. The author portrays the group in a righteous light by stating their accomplishments which are viewed as morally just. However, he does that while establishing an overall objective tone stating purely factual information without stating their opinion. Finally, the author illustrates that the Anonymous hack attacks have waged war with ISIS by attacking several of their social media pages and exposing emails, videos, and other ISIS propaganda.
