Here's a link: http://www.wired.com/2012/01/anonymous-dicators-existential-dread/

Honestly, this just reiterates what you've already said. Sure, Anonymous DDoS'd government sites. Sure, Anonymous spread awareness about the revolution which was already occurring. But did Anonymous give that street vendor the idea to light himself on fire? No. Did Anonymous give the Tunisian people the will to stand up to an oppressive regime they'd tolerated for years? No. In the context of this argument, the most important quote from that article is this one: "OpTunisia was the first of what became known as the Freedom Ops, Anonymous operations that mostly started in Middle Eastern countries in support of the Arab Spring, but spread much further." Key words: "in support of the Arab Spring". In support. Anonymous was not at all a part of the root cause.
