From the other side once you share your data, you lose control over it. Your identity might be stolen / sold / used for something illegal by whoever has the access to it. Nobody is gonna solve this problem. Moreover in a lot of countries nobody will protect you once prosecutor has enough "clues" to put you in jail for something you didn't commit. Just look at the prosecution process of mr Bogatov for hosting Tor exit node [1]. It's already happening. Or imagine the possibilities for government to track down the opposition. Well in some countries government already puts in jail opposition based on internet activities. So even in case anonymity might make people to be a bit overly aggressive online, that's the price I'm happy to pay for my own safety and freedom. Otherwise I would prefer to stay passive network participant or even be offline.
