The long-awaited event largely promoted by the hacker group Anonymous has begun, gathering between one and two thousand protestors that occupied Zuccotti Park to state their demands.

Presstorm covered the whole thing so far, following many of the tweets posted on Twitter relating to the manifestation.

In a recent post we've discussed about the possibility of shutting down social media networks during riots and because Twitter was the most used in this case, the websites representatives decided to stop trending the event after many angry and threatening post were made. Even though protestors were not happy about it, blaming them for being on the wrong side, Twitter decided to play it safe.
