Dec 11, 2012 at 0:57 comment added user4012 @StasM - Anonymous seems to protest every random thing around :)
Dec 10, 2012 at 19:13 comment added StasM @DVK If you want Iran, it's only a google away :) businesspundit.com/… As for specific protests about stoning - I didn't find those but this doesn't mean they do not oppose it - you can not protest everything...
Dec 10, 2012 at 16:29 comment added user4012 @StasM - since your URL gives me "Sevice Not Available", I will make up a conspiracy theory that it was indeed taken out by Anonymous and this proves me right :) Also, in all seriousness, Syria is a pretty poor example, since 100% of Arab states aside from Iran oppos Al Assad at this point. I meant things like protesting Saudi Arabia over its treatment of women, or Iran over stoning of apostasists or gays.
Dec 10, 2012 at 8:35 comment added StasM @DVK I do not need to try - this was already tried, for example: mashable.com/2011/08/08/anonymous-syria
Dec 9, 2012 at 5:49 comment added user4012 @StasM - Probably a valid guess. But go and try and organize an Anonymous protest against an Arab regime (on any grounds) and see how successful you will be.

Dec 7, 2012 at 7:18 comment added StasM I'm not sure there are such protests at the level of Anonymous actions at all - i.e. it may be that target demographic audience of Anonymous just does not have enough individuals that oppose this particular legislation and are inclined to protest in such ways.
Dec 7, 2012 at 2:33 comment added user97 An interesting perspective ... perhaps it makes more sense to consider Anonymous as a framework within which political actors can operate, rather than a political actor in itself, then? Nevertheless, there does seem to be some kind of limitation on what is and isn't considered a viable cause to promote via Anonymous. I don't study the group closely (I'm a bit old for 4chan), but I haven't heard of the name being used as cover for (for example) protests against proposals for marriage equality legislation.
