Anonymous hacktivists take down multiple child pornography websites, including the homepage belonging to NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Love Association, as part of Operation Alice ( #OpAlice ).
On Thursday, April 25, Anonymous launched Operation Alice in order “to deface and cause chaos within the pedophile networks.” April 25 was selected because the day is a covert holiday for pedophiles, known as Pedophile Pride Day.
Anonymous @AnonOpsLegion tweeted news of Operation Alice’s success with the following tweet:
Developing: Anonymous is currently keeping multiple child porn websites offline right now for #OpAlice : @ReportAPedo . #TangoDown
Gizmodo confirmed that Anonymous had indeed temporarily disabled the NAMBLA homepage, however, at the time of publication for this story, the website catering to pedophiles was back up.
The Daily Dot reports that Pedophile Pride Day was inspired by the relationship between the author Lewis Carroll and his young muse, Alice Liddell, for whom Alice in Wonderland was written. April 25 is supposedly the day in 1856 that Carroll met 4-year-old Alice, sparking a lifelong infatuation.
The following is an excerpt from the transcript attached to a YouTube video announcing Operation Alice:
Greetings World,
We are Anonymous.
April is child abuse awareness month, and coincidentally it is also a month in which child rapists, molesters and abusers celebrate a particular holiday. On April 25th, Abusers worldwide celebrate the holiday Alice Day, named after Alice Liddell and, "Alice In Wonderland", originally Pedophile Pride Day.
We call upon all Anonymous Operatives to come forward and march with us as legion. To deface and cause chaos within the pedophile networks.
We Are Anonymous,
We are legion,
We do not forgive,
We do not forget,
Expect us!
This is not the first time Anonymous has targeted pedophiles, and websites dedicated to child pornography. Anonymous has a long history of battling the scourge of child pornography, fighting the abomination of pedophilia, and protecting children.
