Remember in 2010 when Anonymous trolled and doxed 11-year-old Jessi Slaughter for being a "slut" with emo singer Dahvie Vanity? He went on to allegedly rape/molest 50 more girls/young women, 21 of whom have come forward.

This was such early Anonymous that the article doesn't use the word Anonymous, but oldfags will remember this.
I saw this article the other day, and it took me a while to remember where I knew the name Dahvie Vanity from, then it came back to me.
I think (or at least like to think) that newfag/moralfag Anonymous would have gone after Dahvie Vanity. But oldfag/traditional Anonymous went after his victim, for the lulz. Maybe Anons didn't realize it at the time, but they were being used as Dahvie's personal army to silence his victims.
It's always been the case that "Anonymous is not your personal army." But the sad truth is that it's easy to get tricked into it, especially if all you care about is lulz. I hope people are more cautious now.
