This sucks - just when we need them the most. The article says she doesn’t have any attorney attorney. Should we start a crowdfunding for her?

My understanding was that the group was fairly decentralized? I’m not sure how this might affect their operations.
Some people (officials, journalists) are incapable of grasping "decentralised" and quickly have to bridge the abyss that's opening in their minds, usually with something like "mentor", or "ringleader" or, in this case, "co-founder". I wonder how many "co-founders" there are: a hundred? ten thousand?

How do we even decide this? The first X number of people to use the handle?

Anonymous isn't even a group. It's an idea, much like Antifa.
If they caught co-founder of the group, it means they are going after others too, and this might discourage others to continue their work.
Except they didn't catch the "co-founder" because there is no such person? Anyone claiming to have co-founded Anonymous is as full of shit as the media trying to portray it as such. Seriously, I would like to support this woman, but not in a way that denies reality.

It shouldn't affect their operations much at all, but it might act as deterrent for people to join up or continue. Or keep evidence just hanging around.
