  In a dramatic and unexpected turn of events, a small group wearing Anonymous masks broke away from the protest and tried to enter the W3C meeting, where they were ejected by police.

  A small number of protesters split from the group, their actions were not condoned by the FSF, to enter the W3C meeting but they were ejected by police.
