Increasingly it feels like we can only "think" anonymously, not speak. Technology like Tor allows me to surf the web untracked, which is good. There are chilling effects from mass surveilance that cause people not read about sensitive topics[1]. It's good people can expose themselves to primary sources unimpeded. But if a user tries to say anything of substance or simply become part of a community rather than rotate nyms every year or so, they're opening themself up to fingerprinting. An interesting dynamic, in my opinion.
