Anonymous Ousted from Twitter and Facebook

You can't do what you suggest in an open, collaborative model. It's too susceptible to malicious actors.

What Anon needs is hackers, not spies. They need people who know what the fuck they're talking about to build tools and strategies. LOIC may be slightly improved, but it's still terrible. Having a bunch of angry skiddies is a great resource, if used properly to shield the activities of more capable members.

Also, it's dox, not docs. /pedantic

Sure you can. All you need is a suitable counterintelligence and counter-deception wing to crosscheck sources. There's plenty of good open source literature out there on how to set up such a structure (the intelligence scholar Roy Godson's books being one).

That's like saying what the military needs is more engineers and less intelligence. Obviously you haven't read your Sun Tzu. To win, you need both. You also need some overarching strategy as well, so far, it looks like Anon is lacking in that department.
