4Chan, Anonymous React to Book About Them

It is surprising to me that my journalism students have not heard of 4Chan or Anonymous. These groups are interesting, whether you regard them as a threat to reporters who write about them, a group of bullies, or a force for freedom. Their actions after Wikileaks disclosures against credit card companies were newsworthy. If you haven’t followed 4Chan or Anonymous, you could check out Stryker’s book.

The first rule of /b/ is that one doesn’t talk about /b/, so writing a book about 4chan was unlikely to be received well, whatever its message.
