Governments are not the only targets of Anonymous

Anonymous Finland made a statement on Pastebin in which they unveil their plans to go after Talvivaara, a mining company that according to them is responsible for endangering the local natural environment and the communities that live in the area.

“Today November 12, members of Anonymous Finland have voted and approved the support of Anonymous' worldwide Operation Green Rights, a series of actions in defence and safeguard of the environment, and decided to start a spin-off of the same in this country, as part of our Operaatio Valkomaa,” the statement reads.

They claim that the waste water from the mining site has affected the ground water in the area, fact which will in time affect the entire flora and fauna. They are even more upset with the fact that the company has been promising the communities that live around Lake Hakonen that the extractions would not affect anything but the sector where the mine operates.

As a direct result, Anonymous decided to launch Operaatio Screw Talvivaara which will directly target the company.

“We stand in solidarity with all the citizens affected by Talvivaara's action and polluting activities and We support them in protesting against this corporate abuse. Anonymous Finland will not stand by idly and let these environmental atrocities continue.”

It seems they're planing to uncover acts of corruption the organization may be involved in with the help of regular internet users who might have something against the mining firm.

“Anonymous Finland will not suffer this without a fight, and Operation Green Rights and Operaatio Screw Talvivaara will always support the rights of the people to live in an unpolluted world and unpolluted Finland, and aim to help safeguard it for the future.”

It seems as Anonymous Finland relies more on the power of the people than on their hacking powers. Than again, they might surprise us with a massive data leak as they accustomed us.
