    Can they do something useful like destroy the debt infrastructure and delete all student loans and medical bills?

      A more useful thing would be to do as much damage to Twitter as possible. In fact, why they haven’t attacked Twitter while Musk has been disarming all of its safety protocols is fucking beyond me.

        Attacking twitter would be more useful than deleting all debt? I mean go wild, take that shit ass site down but if you had a “delete twitter” button and a “delete all debt” button, mashing the second one would make you the greatest hero who ever lived.

          Debt is monitored/store by many different companies

          Even if you took down all data of x health insurance company it would still exist in other places

          So I would say that it poses a bigger challenge and you would have to do it at roughly the same time

            Sure. Yeah its very hypothetical and silly. As if the Banks that manage national and international money supplies, since most of their managed assets are debt, haven’t thought of it? So no such button exists, whereas there might be a delete twitter button somewhere or one could be rigged up 👀

        “Anonymous” isn’t like a formal group. The entire point is that anyone can say that they are anonymous. So yeah, people talk a lot. You can do whatever you like as anonymous.

      I’m sure backups and redundancies are “inefficient” since “everything is in the cloud, anyway”.
