Anon and LulzSec (mostly the former) have quite a reputation for voicing their displeasure with certain institutions, governments and corporations through various web attacks, especially recently.
Not too long ago, Anon announced that Facebook was its next target, with the date of the attack set on November 5th.
Source However, it is unsure whether this will be a full-scale Anon attack, as Anon's Twitter account has twitted some conflicting statements. At the very least, it is likely that it is a smaller portion of Anonymous that is doing this. Whether it will stay that way remains to be seen.

So, an Anon attack on Facebook; your thoughts?
It's my job to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I'll gladly lay down my life.
I don't really care.. I hate facebook.. xD And doing it on November the 5th is almost.. Yeah.. It doesn't really make sense.. in fact it's almost stupid.
Zekrom, "IRL"=In real life, while "Protests" means, well, I really don't have to say, do I? He means, Flash and bone protests, not sitting-in-an-office-chair-eating-chips-and-hacking-via-keyboard-type protest.
Meh, I have two, but I also communicate via the long-lost art, of E-Mail.
Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.
i like facebook.i dont care if google got hacked its so boring.i agree with zeKrom.but if facebook gets hacked i wont be able to talk to my friend erica.so i want facebook to stay.
i like that one oh wait no thats a rat with a blow dry XD
Pfft people talk on facebook? Just use MSN it's 5000000000x better. And I agree about twitter being boring.. I swore I'd never create an account. It's just a bunch of stalkers and people who think others care about what they say.. I really only use Facebook to throw my pictures somewhere.. most of my friends aren't online often, soo it's gotten more boring for me.. But it's the only social networking site worth having so I guess it would kinda suck if it was hacked, but it would get fixed soon. On the other hand their security and rule enforcement sucks..
I actually can't get msn mobile to work on my 3ds, now that you mention it.. as in I can't even find it xD but it's not like you can go on the chat on facebook mobile either.
Boss, I've seen more shirtless morons that are guys on Facebook, not women. And because they want money, of course, HTC.
Pft, dignity can't be taught.
I use Twitter, it's not boring, really. You're not supposed to be on the website for 5 hours, that's what Facebook is for. In essence, it's like stalking certain people.
Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.
If they accomplish it by the set date then that would be win, goodbye to all the usual crap you see on FB hopefully. But I doubt Lulzsec will play an important influence though.
