Anonymity is just a means to achieve privacy. Anyone that comes from somewhere small enough not to have privacy by blending in with the crowd had privacy by not actually being watched all the time. For example, the cows in the field aren't gonna tell the preacher that your gay lover stopped by or that you smoke the devil's lettuce every night. Yes these are different kinds of privacy but for normal levels of deviance from whatever the socially condoned behavior is the practical affect is the same.
