Anonymous To Destroy Facebook On November 5th?

Remember, remember the fifth of November, the day Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the English Parliament in 1605 and the day Anonymous threatens to destroy Facebook. Update: Is this a fake? A splinter group? Two prominent Anon Twitter accounts seem to disagree:

A video press release reportedly from the hacker group claims it will launch an all-out assault that will bring down the social network. Anonymous has singled out Facebook for its shady privacy settings and its policy that makes it difficult for users to delete their account.

Facebook, it says, “gives users the illusion of (privacy) and hides the details away from them “for their own good” while they then make millions off of you.” When all is said and done, the group claims people will thank Anonymous for saving them from the evils of this social network.
