Anonymity

Anonymity is becoming increasingly important because people are starting to realize that what they do or say on the internet can affect them. There several reasons on why people wish to remain anonymous. Some people do not which to expose personal information to the public such as their sexual orientation, mental health, or any form of identifier which may lead them to feel uncomfortable. Anonymity provides people with the freedom to either express themselves creatively or be someone else without compromising who they really are. Social networking sites have become a place where users are able to express this freedom. On the other hand, anonymity sometimes can cause people to be aggressive and cause unethical behaviors. Anonymity is very important, as it allows people to communicate and learn without fear.

If net neutrality ends up being struck down, it could end up adversely affecting those who wish to be anonymous on the Internet but cannot afford the paywalls that will be put into effect.

Lets look at the many Pros and Cons of Anonymity.
