In wake of the terrorist attack on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris, Anonymous is striking back by taking down pro-jihadist social network accounts and websites.
The #francophone chapter of Anonymous posted information about its latest endeavor, christened #OpCharlieHebdo, on Pastebin. The message is entirely in French and is a call to arms about freedom of speech.

"Freedom of expression is a non-negotiable thing; an attack on it is an attack on democracy. Get ready for a massive reaction and frontal assault, because defending liberty is at the heart of our movement."

So far, it's taken down Ansar-Alhaqq, a site where some French-speaking militant Islamists tend to congregate, and has asked its followers to find terrorist Twitter profiles and report them. Interestingly, the Twitter feed also makes it clear that #OpCharlieHebdo does not condone racism or the conflation of Islam and terrorism, and has no interest in taking down ordinary Muslim sites.
