That article seemed rather balanced.  I never thought Anonymous would eradicate ISIS, but if they can do some good without harming other efforts, then I hope they continue.  And perhaps they will stop disrupting banks and public transportation and other entities that "average" people use.  

I was directly affected by an Anonymous hack.  When I was still working full-time, Anonymous disrupted the train service, aka BART, in San Francisco, and I had no way to get home.  I finally found a roundabout way and got my boss to drive me across the Bay Bridge.  Thank goodness we both tended to work late and she drove her car instead of using the train.

Exactly. They've boasted this before...after they hacked government sites in places. What exactly do they think they are going to do now that ISIS has gone off the grid for their latest attack?

---

Maybe they do not feel it necessary for you to be made aware of what they do?

If that were the case, they wouldn't be announcing it all to the media as if they were going to save the world single handedly. They announced this a long time ago, and there doesn't seem to be much progress on their front. Authorities believe ISIS is now off the grid with this latest attack which hacking will not reach at all.

We'll have to wait and see .....  but I'm guessing that Anonymous will be able to track Isis activity much easier than Isis will ever be able to locate anyone affiliated with Anonymous.      How do you locate an invisible enemy?

Yes I wrote above they came out with this a long time ago and again we don't know for sure if this has hindered ISIS since they will not say. Plus you  have to keep in mind. Anonymous is a fractured group with a lot of different fronts and people bundled under the same name. So the people who spoke recently may not be working with those who spoke up inthe past against ISIS.

They have identified an Ameican company they say is helping ISIS.  You can find this on the news feeds.

It would help if you published the source in your post. I am not finding any credible website.

I know nothing about Twitter.  I guess it's not traceable, identifies it's member's names, addresses or locations of twittering can be tracked?

1st link from Business Insider:

CloudFlare CEO Matthew Prince has now hit back at his critics, suggesting that Anonymous is being hypocritical, given that many of its members apparently use the service.

"I did see a Twitter handle said that they were mad at us," he told The Register,  "I'd suggest this was armchair analysis by kids — it's hard to take seriously. Anonymous uses us for some of its sites, despite pressure from some quarters for us to take Anonymous sites offline."

He added: "Even if we were hosting sites for ISIS, it wouldn't be of any use to us ... I should imagine those kinds of people pay with stolen credit cards and so that's a negative for us."

Prince told The Register that CloudFlare was willing to stop protecting websites if approached through the proper US legal channels, though "more often than not, investigators want him to keep sites up rather than take them down."

In a separate interview with International Business Times, the CEO elaborated on this. "Individuals have decided that there is content they disagree with but the right way to deal with this is to follow the established law enforcement procedures. There is no society on Earth that tolerates mob rule because the mob is fickle."

CloudFlare is worth more than $1 billion, Bloomberg reported in March, and expects to go public in 2017. Prince said the company by then could be worth about as much as Workday — which had a value of $7.8 billion at its initial public offering.

Bolded by me.

2nd article from Fortune:
From what it says, it sounds like the company is reponding to a twitter attack of commentary by Anonymous.

Anonymous' Gripes About ISIS Are 'Absurd,' CEO says

"Now Anonymous has called out CloudFlare, a content distribution company that delivers website content using a global network of computers, for allegedly supporting pro-ISIS websites alongside its usual customers. A Twitter account associated with Anonymous posted a tweet this week saying that, “Once again, atCloudFlare have been found to be providing services to pro-#IslamicState websites. Shameful. #OpISIS #Daesh #Anonymous"
