Anonymous/ Q something?/ hacking?

I’ve searched around and I know so little that I can’t even understand some of the posts I’ve found.

I’m inadvertently getting conspiracies, confusing explanations, and strange message boards. That’s not what I’m looking for.

I see “Anonymous” trending on Twitter, and I’ve seen “QAnon” (??). Please forgive me if that’s not right.

I’m not looking for conspiracy theories, but what this actually IS.

Thank you in advance, and pardon my ignorance.

Anonymous is a group of “hacktivists” that originated on 4chan that hack groups that they consider opposed to their interests. They haven’t been very high profile for the last few years. They’re trending now because of hacking related to the protests/riots currently occurring.

QAnon is someone who presents himself as an “insider” in the US government spinning insane conspiracy theories to his followers as “the truth.”
