The 'Operation Facebook' meme stems from the 2011 announcement by the hacktivist group Anonymous, which threatened to 'destroy' the social media platform due to privacy concerns. While the actual threat never fully materialized as promised, the branding and dramatic imagery associated with the 'operation' became a staple in internet culture. Today, the template is used satirically to describe parents taking over a new app, someone posting an embarrassing status update, or the feeling of being tracked by algorithms. It captures the tension between digital privacy and the unavoidable nature of social networking, often featuring the iconic Guy Fawkes mask or glitchy, green-on-black terminal aesthetics.
