A organisation of contentious internet liberty fighters have called for a universal day of action in objection at attempts to shut down Wikileaks.
Anonymous has gained prominence in new months for its cyber-attacks on the websites of companies it deems to be anti-Wikileaks.
Now, in a new video posted on its blog , it calls for a array of offline protests.
These are programmed for leading cities around the world on 15 January.
"The internet needs champions and you will rise...We are Anonymous and so are you. Stand up and fight. All city, everywhere," the video summary said.
Because of the unknown and loose-knit inlet of the group, sum of the real protests are hard to find but it does spot a change in strategy is to group.
"This is unquestionably a improved tactic than denial-of-service attacks," mentioned Jim Killock, executive of the Open Rights Group.
In the denial-of-service attacks carried out in encouragement of Wikileaks, Anonymous members bombarded aim websites with outrageous amounts of information in a bid to wallop them offline.
The targets were companies that had cut ties with whistle-blowing website Wikileaks.
Meanwhile a organisation of European MPs have mentioned that US supervision snooping on the Twitter accounts of those with links to Wikileaks could break European privacy laws.
"The EU should as a matter of coercion inquire the US authorities for clarifications on the subpoenas imposed on Twitter," mentioned Renate Web, a Romanian MEP and associate of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE).
It is approaching that the programmed Wikileaks demonstrations organized by Anonymous this week end will be identical to those a couple of years ago in objection at the Church of Scientology where masked demonstrators collected outward the organisation's headquarters.
Some experts envision the week end could moreover see a renewed escalation in online attacks, presumably against Twitter.
