Anonymity

Anonymity on the Internet

The internet was developed as a virtual world where you could exist behind a screen and no one could be sure who was on the other end. Now, an argument rages over whether anonymity should be allowed on the internet anymore. Encompassing the realms of privacy and publicness, the amount of anonymity a person has while existing behind their computer defines their internet identity. By extension, the amount of anonymity a person is given in any certain sphere of the internet allows opportunies for abuse, and changes exactly what the internet stands for.
