As much as I hate it, so many problems will be solved by a lack of anonymity on the web, and by gatekeepers preventing unauthorized access.
Yes, I know. There are enormous upsides to anonymity. But at the same time, so much harm would vanish, if every word written, and every deed done, was indelibly linked to the entity responsible.
I think, sadly, this is where all this will end up.
- JohnFen 3y ago> so many problems will be solved by a lack of anonymity on the web Honestly, I can't think of very many problems that would be solved by removing anonymity. There are a few, mostly related to to reducing actual criminal activity, but not enough to compensate for what we'd lose.
- londons_explore 3y agoWell you'd immediately get rid of all spam... And hate speech/fraud/scams could be punished.
- JohnFen 3y agoI think spam levels would be unchanged. Cases of fraud are indeed one of the kinds of crime that would be reduced -- but absolutely not eliminated.
