When I volunteered as an Anonymous ally, I wish that RedHack would have played by the rules set by the group itself. Shortly after the hijack of the group’s main account, there were inside discussions, and ended in silence.
While the Twittersphere turned its eyes on the list of names, I didn’t pay attention to this specific issue. The reason for that was based on a simple question: How come that a hacktivist group with almost 20 years of experience in the information-technology environment end up getting its account hijacked, or did we rule out the possibility too early that someone inside the RedHack may be after something?
One of the fundamental aftermaths of a crisis is a cleansing event, that is no different in RedHack. What this crisis surfaced was a chain of lies, individuals with personal agendas, and secrets. Secrets that every persona in Anonymous would doom to be a dangerous basis for a collaboration between two groups. Someone like me who was involved with RedHack, who helped out with the propaganda and accessibility of Albayrak’s email archive together with Anonymous and WikiLeaks, this truth is a pretty hard pill to swallow.

I waited for the release of this statement because I thought the group would do the necessary thing and explain what happened. What followed was months of silence. Denial by RedHack is probably the only option left because otherwise, this chain will crush everyone under it.
And that’s why I am leaving both this alliance and Anonymous. I’m proud that over the past 7 years I’ve been able to contribute more to society than the average person.
