Oh, no - I'm not trying to downplay the need for privacy. I'm saying that privacy and anonymity are two separate things and people too often mistake one for the other. Privacy is everyone's right, but it has nothing to do with dissent. Blasting your opinions out into public while shielding yourself with a pseudonym isn't privacy.

We need "privacy for the weak and transparency for the powerful" (see Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet by Julian Assange et alia).
