Anonymous strikes again, and the Internet goes wild

This is it. The big reveal has finally come. Anonymous and TayGo on Twitter have revealed the identities of 45 and counting members of the KKK. And the news is rocking the social media boat, big time. A congressman, several senators, and members of the police and detective department have been identified as members so far. The reveal came after a threat posted online noted that it would reveal identifying information for over 1,000 members.

People are currently utilizing the hashtags #OpKKK and #HoodsOff on Twitter, with 30K tweets and counting within the past few hours.

Here are some of their reactions:

1.

#Anonymous wants these people to step down or public outcry online to make them retire. Either way, hackers rule the world.

#Anonymous revealing three sitting U.S. Senators and other elected officials are members of the #KKK deserves more media coverage.
