Citizens of the world, we are Anonymous You chose on October the 20th to make #OpBigBrother voice surround worldwide to inform people about the threatens of surveillance systems on their Freedom. We are now in times when stakes about both individual and common liberties are critical. Smack in the middle of an economic and social crisis, we have adjourned our attention about those matters, we forgot such atmospheres often lead to threatens on our fundamental Rights. We call you once again to act against systems of the almighty Surveillance State. You noticed, how many efforts governments deploy to mark and spy people worldwide. They plan to use technology to know everything about citizens including : who is who, who do what and with whom, as well in real life and the Internet. Moreover, our governments are about to demolish Privacy with Systems like Trapwire and Indect. Those network surveillance technologies sniff the CCTV cameras, government databases and the Internet to identify people and make a profile of citizens, their families and their socializing. Governments also want to silence us with projects like cleanIT. They are planning to take control of the internet using Deep Packet Inspection engines like CAS system. They work with lobbies to install censorship with laws like ACTA, CETA, SOPA, PIPA or CISPA. Governments pretend to design those systems for security reasons, but every people able to access and understand information on those matters should stand up against a society of global control on the citizens that is being drawn. Included in the global action of Anonymous, #OpBigBrother is working to inform populations on systems designed to watch and control them ! It's time to act, it's time to show the governments of the World, who we are, it's time to show humanity stands as united, it is time to show what freedom means to us. We call you to prepare for the next Worldwide Day of Action against surveillance planned for December the 8th 2012. A way to make it successful is to follow a few advises to awake people, and make them join.

Anonymous is planning a global protest tomorrow.

In a campaign called Operation Big Brother, the Worldwide Day Of Protest Against Surveillance appears to be plotting action from citizens in over a dozen countries in an organized effort against government use of surveillance systems such as Europe's INDECT and America's Trapwire.

Using a Google Map to pull in and track protesters by location, Operation Big Brother is supposed to visibly demonstrate what's going on during the protest. Yet little is known about how it will be implemented other than the suggestion, "IRL protest (...) unofficial information and defacing." News of the protest is being shared on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Pastebin, while opt-in protest locations are being tracked with a Google Map. The protest was announced in August after a WikiLeaks leak of private intelligence firm Stratfor's documents revealed the global use and implementation of American surveillance system Trapwire. It was first tacked onto a pre-existing European anti-government-surveillance protest, Stop INDECT. But now on its Operation Big Brother Twitter feed and ancillary online outlets, Anonymous is hinting at bigger plans. Information about the protest is being shared by Operation Big Brother (@OpBigBrother) and there is a #OpBigBrother Worldwide call to protest against Surveillance SystemsFacebook Event Page. Both Trapwire and INDECT combine various intelligent surveillance technologies with tracking and location data, individual profile histories from various sources (data mining and social media), and image data analysis (such as facial recognition -- Trapwire's video component) to monitor people.

Anonymous has released a new video describing its intent behind the protest.

The video voiceover states:

Trapwire is used by private entities, the U.S. government, "and its allies overseas." In mid-August when the Google Map and Operation Big Brother became public there was only a small cluster of pins indicating participants for the October 20 protest only in Europe. Now, people in dozens of cities in 15 countries around the globe have joined the protest against government use of the surveillance technologies on citizens. Countries include Germany, the U.K., the United States, Australia, Russia, Philippines, Venezuela, and Pakistan.

Trapwire and INDECT's opponents believe that the surveillance systems to be direct threats to privacy and certain civil freedoms and that their implementation could constitute human rights violations.

The ACLU this summer called Trapwire "deeply problematic" and elaborated on the term "the surveillance-industrial complex," saying:

Just this week, the ACLU commented on San Francisco law enforcement using a subpoena to get location information on a suspect via the city's public transit Clipper Card database. Chris Conley, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California said, "As with all location information, Clipper cards can tell quite a bit about a person -- it could show that a person got off BART at a rally." California Watch wrote:

Regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's planned protest, the push by Anonymous shows a keen and persistent interest in pushing back the reach of surveillance technologies.
