The group set up a Twitter account for the campaign, calling for users to report any terrorist accounts they came across.
In a video posted to YouTube, a modified voice said the group had been compelled to act after the Charlie Hebdo shootings last week.
"It is our responsibility to act," the voice-over said.
"Attacking freedom of speech is acting Anonymous; we will not permit it."
"Any organisations and enterprises linked to those terrorist attacks should expect a massive reaction from Anonymous. We are tracking you down."
The campaign has already been targeted by faux marketing company Rantic.com, The Guardian reports.
The company has registered the domain name opcharliehebdo.com, which Anonymous said was not connected to the group.
France today announced the deployment of 10,000 troops and police to boost security at "sensitive" sites around the city, one day after millions gathered at marches across Europe.
