Mr. Robot Season 2 back too soon with Paris attacks!!



You must have seen Mr. Robot. And you will be glad to know that the season two has started prematurely. The F society is back to save the world. And this time, by the name of Anonymous Hackers. It is not the first time such warning statement has been issued by them as similar threats were made after Charlie Hebdo attacks in January.
Posting a video on YouTube, the group said it would use its knowledge to "unite humanity" and warned the terrorists to "expect us". Behind their signature mask, a spokesperson speaking in French said:
Anonymous from all over the world will hunt you down.
You should know that we will find you and we will not let you go.
We will launch the biggest operation ever against you. Anonymous declare war on Islamic State after Paris attacks
Expect massive cyber attacks. War is declared. Get prepared.
  
It is quite similar to a live action movie where hackers all around the world unite to destroy a common target. And naturally, the sympathy of the common people goes with the hackers. But it must be done the right way. Last time I checked, vigilantism is against the law of the land. They could pro bono provide their resources to the law enforcement agencies rather than launching a full scale open attack on the ISIS. The negative consequences are beyond comprehension. It can be assumed that terrorists will start approaching freelance hackers to work for them. A series of counter cyber attacks can bring the world economy down. I believe that the terrorist attackers must be brought to justice. But the right way is not some rogue self aware netizens who are trying to do the right thing. It must sound a cliché but things must be corrected the right way.
I am emphasising on the word correct because I believe the terrorism is result of the foreign policies of some self-proclaimed righteous countries gone terribly haywire. They must come forward accepting their mistakes rather than making The call for unity.
The next step does not involve drone attacks which will invoke greater retaliation. If one thing we should learn from past is that linear response has failed to bring peace. Only a consensus among all the stakeholders without any bias is a step towards a better world.

In the end I would leave you with the last phrase of finale of first season of Mr. Robot:
The infamous Emperor Nero played an instrument very similar to the one she's playing, the lyre. Legend has it that he played it merrily as he watched Rome burn.
