I really object to the language of "dark" to describe privacy or anonymity, which are thereby painted with a sinister connotation.

- stephengillie 10y agoSimilar to /s/blacklist/blocklist, maybe we can replace this with "Going Transparent" to describe privacy or anonymity.

- pdkl95 10y agoA better term already exists: "blank" Computer Court 9: "Guilty. Take her down." Convicted Blank: "I know my rights. I won't be judged by a machine!" Dragul: "You don't have any rights. You're a Blank." Convicted Blank: "Blank is beautiful! Blank is beautiful! Blank is beautiful!" Max Headroom, Episode ABC.1.6 "Blanks"

- astrobe_ 10y agoI suggest the german "Geist" which means spirit or ghost (as in Poltergeist). It sounds a bit like "Guest" and Ghostery uses this metaphor already. Plus, german is cool.
