There are many unjust laws, especially in countries other than the US.
Each of us has a right to privacy. This allows for nefarious activities but it also enables many forms of creativity.

- keefe 16y agohow can you have privacy without anonymity from your information service providers?
- jrockway 16y agoIf you want upvotes, please explain why you think this. Who is "jrockway"? Why would being more anonymous or less anonymous make my comments more or less useful or interesting? If anonymity is bad, why do you use a nickname here?
- axod 16y agoIf anonymity isn't an issue, lets just get rid of the nicknames altogether and turn into 4chan. Once you allow anonymity, you also allow impersonation, endless trolling, abuse, etc etc.

- ax0d 16y agoAnonymity is hardly necessary to hassle or troll (or even impersonate) people.
- axod 16y agoYou're seriously suggesting HN users can't work out the difference between an 'o' and a '0'? I'd credit them with slightly more intelligence than that.
- koenigdavidmj 16y agoNo, but they can't tell the difference in axоd. (The о there is the Cyrillic lookalike.)
- axod 16y agoIt's a moot point. The nickname is different, and can be proven to be.
