Description
In January 2011, The anonymous Hackers took down a Brutal Dictator. Tunisia's president of 23 years fled after 28 days of protest, and a crowd born on an anime message board was in the middle of it.
Then the most famous hacker in that crowd turned out to be working for the FBI. And Tunisia got a strongman again.
