Parts of the anonymous trend started on 4chan. However not everyone involved with anonymous is/was involved with 4chan, and it was also at a time when 4chan was more of an anonymous meme board and less of a pedo/nazi aggregator.

Anonymous doesn't only attack megacorps. First because anonymous is not a group so there's no central leadership to decide who to attack. Second because they're overall involved with fighting injustices of all kinds. It's not the first nazi-friendly site to get hacked by anonymous, but to my knowledge the first nazi-friendly webhost.

Also, depending on your understanding of what a megacorp is, Epik may very well qualify.

I will have to disagree here. The amount of illegal pedo content has dramatically decreased over the years. You would see people spamming it all the time around ~2008-2013 in /b/, while nowadays it is much more likely that you will see such content while browsing facebook.

As for nazi content, there are a lot more things that are considered nazi these days that were common back (such as calling people slurs as a generic insult), although since around the time of gamergate the amount of unironic actual nazis skyrocketed (as part of a wider social radicalization) and they stopped being shamed as much when posting in unrelated boards.

I think that this is stretching the definition. I believe that most people would consider something of the size and reach of cokecola and mcdonalds as megacorps.

That sounds... unlikely? Unless you have a very specific set of friends?

Because it's true. You can browse facebook without an account.
