The term “Anonymous Protester” refers to individuals who participate in protests or demonstrations while concealing their identities. Often characterized by wearing masks, such as the Guy Fawkes mask popularized by the movie “V for Vendetta,” these protesters aim to remain anonymous to protect themselves from potential repercussions or retaliation.

The use of anonymity in protests is not new, but the adoption of the Guy Fawkes mask by the global collective known as Anonymous has become symbolic of resistance against perceived injustice. Anonymous protesters may engage in various forms of activism, advocating for causes such as free speech, government transparency, and social justice.
