Anonymous, the hacktivist group most famous for a series of DDoS (denial of service) attacks on a range of major websites in December of last year, was banned from the Google+ social network for community standards violations.
Anonymous responded by criticizing Google for the choice, comparing it to anti-free speech decisions made in authoritarian nations. Anonymous then announced their own social network.
The Anonymous social network, known as AnonPlus, is "a new social network where there is no fear of censorship, of blackout, nor of holding back." The site temporarily showed a welcome page with a message about the social network, but that page has since been removed, apparently after being hacked.
Several suspected Anonymous group members were arrested July 19. Anonymous has been broadcasting little but radio silence since.
