I'm mostly just saying that they're the ones with the thumbs up there ass if any, with the politicians. It's like how you probably thought you'd be some bad ass vigilante when you were a kid or something. It's stupid, they are really not significant... but for some reason they're every internet kiddie's hero. They mean nothing. They change nothing. They are nothing. Nothing but a bunch of idiots on the internet with masks and attention from the people gullable enough to listen to their shit, and how they're changing America by scaring the politicians.
The DDoS attack has probably helped the politicians realize "Wait, this bill upsets our people". Remember that the people keep the politicians in office, and the only way a politician can go totally against the people's view is to take control and totally oppress them or inevitably lose their position of power (and money) when the expiration date comes close.
