FROM viagra adverts to rubber ducks, Anonymous has been doing its best to troll members of Islamic State on social media.

While Rickrolling seemed like a winning option, it appears the hacking collective is changing tactics again.

The hacktivism group has been using its communication website to circulate a document calling for a ‘day of rage’ against Islamic State on December 11.

To coincide with the announcement, Anonymous is believed to be organising protests in a number of major cities across the globe for masked members to show unity against Islamic State.

It has also called for supporters to barrage terrorist affiliated social media accounts with anti-IS propaganda and pictures of goats.

“You may be wondering why we are “trolling” ISIS and planning all these demonstrations,” an Anonymous supporter wrote, reports The Mirror.

“To understand that you must first see how Isis works.

“They thrive off fear and hope that by their actions they can silence all of us and get us to just lay low and hide in fear.

“We will show them that we are not afraid, we will not just hide in our fear, we are the majority and with our strength in numbers we can make a real difference.

“We will mock them for the idiots they are.” ...

The announcement comes as Anonymous took to twitter to reassure its supporters everything is going to plan in its attempts to bring down the terrorist organsiation.

This was needed as many believed Anonymous was failing to achieve its goals after it was widly criticised for its lack of effectiveness in a number of media reports.

“People think this op is dead. It’s not, hush,” the official #OpParis account tweeted late last week.

This was followed with a new video claiming the hacking collective would never stop its mission to eradicate Islamic State propaganda from the internet. ...

They'd be far more effective if they managed to permanently take down the websites and accounts Daesh uses to recruit and radicalize.
