#Hacker group #Anonymous to "Kill" #Facebook; Now Probably Not #OpFacebook

Update from Gizmodo: Sources we've spoken to inside Anonymous' IRC have cast some heavy, heavy doubt upon the legitimacy of #OpFacebook. Unlike Anonymous' major offensives, which have the blessing of the collective's prominent operators, the Facebook takedown is more of a splinter maneuver. "#OPFacebook is not endorsed by Anonops at this time," stated one member. The generally-reputable AnonOps Twitter feed confirms as much. Another IRC member put it more clearly: 

Anonymous is a mindset not a group. Mindsets do not have leaders. With any given operation there are always some who agree and some who disagree. With opFaceBook specifically there are those that agree and those that disagree. Annoymous allows each person individually to vote on each operation, a yes vote means they participate, a no vote means they do not. Anyone is allowed to create an op and if others vote yes it will get traction and something may be accomplished.
