Anonymous has also called for a public protest in front of Britain’s Houses of Parliament at 8pm today.

“This is the centrepiece of a worldwide Anonymous operation of global strength and solidarity, a warning to all governments worldwide that if they keep trying to censor, cut, imprison, or silence the free world or the free internet they will not be our governments for much longer,” says the event’s description on Facebook.
