Facebook and Twitter ban pro-WikiLeaks hackers

Facebook bans the pro-WikiLeaks hacking group “Anonymous,” saying that organizing hacking violates its terms of use. The group complains on Twitter, which later disables “Anonymous” and its hacking effort, “Operation Payback.” Some speculate that Twitter and Facebook’s moves could make them the next victim of a hack attack.
