Why do they wear masks?
(more at http://www.whyweprotest.net)
The primary reason for the masks is the protection of their identities. After all, how anonymous would they be if they exposed their faces to the world? A second reason is the protection of their lives and livelihood. Due to Scientology's Fair Game policy, Anonymous memebers feel that they put themselves at risk socially, politically, and financially when they speak out. This is an organization that has a well earned reputation for harassing critics and openly critical ex-scientologists at their homes and workplaces.
An in-depth article on the Fair Game policy can be found the Operation Clambake website. A quick summary would state that any person declared Fair Game by Scientology may be attacked by legal or illegal means, and the Scientologist who commits this act may not be punished by the cult for it. While Scientology claims to have ended the policy several decades ago, many believe they did so only in name.
