On 6 November, one day after the protest Million Mask March held around the world, Martha Gill from Telegraph with a publication of her stated that the masks worn by Anonyous members are apparently overshadowed by companies that do not respect the rights of their employees in developing countries.
Gill emphasized that Anonymous they are hypocrites. "This is happening because the Time Warner, the copyright holder for "V for Vendetta", wins for each mask sold.
Apart from the fact that masks seem to be scandalized by companies that use workers as slaves and this is against what Anonymous represents.
Anonymous of course replied to Gill that the offending is not unfair.
"The truth is, the factory that makes them is actually a 55-year-old family craft, where artists produce an estimated 200.000 masks a year," the hacktivists said.
"Most of them are designed by Catalan artist Sergi Arbusa y Amoros and are sold for Brazil's annual carnival, which is attended by more than 3 millions people in Rio de Janeiro every year."
"Honestly, it is sad that a photo of dark-skinned people in the workplace is directly linked to forced labor."
Anonymous representatives say they are very unhappy with Gill's post. Activists say they have tried to contact her but have received no response.
But they admit that Warner Bros. beats a lot money from the sales of the masks. However, they highlight the fact that @YourAnonNews' Twitter feed, one of Anonymous' most prominent accounts, prompted participants in Million Mask March not to buy masks.
