Violating a fundamental right like freedom of speech isn't really a solution to dealing with speech you don't like. For one thing, you'll fail. For another, you're probably violating your own values in the process if you claim to care about freedom of speech, and if you don't, you probably should consider moving to somewhere like North Korea. Sicking monopolistic corporate thugs on people is only a slight step above government intervention. Same for vandalizing other people's property, if that's what you were implying.
As for Anonymous, most are just script kiddies and can't really do much. Still, I wasn't aware that many of them joined the SJW, Save The Children, or Politically Correct crowds. You'd think they'd be in favor of a site that respects free speech...
