PC Magazine writer Sara Yin picked up the story, which she notes has gone practically unnoticed by the media for the past three years, after Anonymous, the online leaderless collective with the self-appointed goal of protecting freedom of speech through targeted "hacktivist" attacks, picked up the "Save Mila" cause, driving Internet traffic to Handrahan's blog and bringing her the attention that traditional news sources and government have long denied her. The article, titled "Anonymous Helps Distressed Mom Find Lost Child," was published on Monday online. The original version detailed Handrahan's claims regarding her ex-husband's treatment of her daughter, as well as her theory that her husband is being protected by crooked government officials who are profiting from and covering up a secret child sex ring.
The next day, however, these gruesome details were edited out, the headline was rewritten as "Anonymous Joins Custody Battle, Helps Mother Find Daughter," and an editor's note explained that although the "fact that Anonymous chose to intervene... [is] worthy of coverage," PC has no "intention to take sides in an ongoing custody battle." While researching the article, Yin spoke to Handrahan, a professor at American University in Washington, D.C., who comes across as frustrated and worried for her daughter but in relatively good emotional shape considering the situation she claims:
Handrahan told me that after spending three years not being taken seriously by law enforcement agents and elected officials, which she has blogged about meticulously at her website Saving Mila, she decided to go to the "court of public opinion" for help. She and several unnamed volunteers went to Facebook and Twitter to spread her story far and wide, in hopes of getting anyone's attention. Last week one of her social media volunteers casually threw #Anonymous at the end of a tweet. Almost immediately, Handrahan saw her tweet, newly hashtagged with #SavingMila, retweeted by many high-profile, Anonymous-related accounts like @AnonymousIRC, @AnonCorpWatch, @AnonymousCRI (Costa Rica), and @AnonOpsSweden. Each account has several thousand followers. Traffic to her blog shot up from 200 to 2,000 hits a day and continues to surge.

The government will be able to monitor the calls, emails, texts and website visits of everyone in the UK under new legislation set to be announced soon. Internet firms will be required to give intelligence agency GCHQ access to communications on demand, in real time. The Home Office says the move is key to tackling crime and terrorism, but civil liberties groups have criticised it. Tory MP David Davis called it "an unnecessary extension of the ability of the state to snoop on ordinary people". Attempts by the last Labour government to take similar steps failed after huge opposition, including from the Tories.
'Unprecedented step'
A new law - which may be announced in the forthcoming Queen's Speech in May - would not allow GCHQ to access the content of emails, calls or messages without a warrant. But it would enable intelligence officers to identify who an individual or group is in contact with, how often and for how long. They would also be able to see which websites someone had visited. In a statement, the Home Office said action was needed to "maintain the continued availability of communications data as technology changes". "It is vital that police and security services are able to obtain communications data in certain circumstances to investigate serious crime and terrorism and to protect the public," a spokesman said. "As set out in the Strategic Defence and Security Review we will legislate as soon as parliamentary time allows to ensure that the use of communications data is compatible with the government's approach to civil liberties."
But Conservative MP and former shadow home secretary David Davis said it would make it easier for the government "to eavesdrop on vast numbers of people". "What this is talking about doing is not focusing on terrorists or criminals, it's absolutely everybody's emails, phone calls, web access..." he told the BBC. "All that's got to be recorded for two years and the government will be able to get at it with no by your leave from anybody." He said that until now anyone wishing to monitor communications had been required to gain permission from a magistrate. "You shouldn't go beyond that in a decent civilised society, but that's what's being proposed."
