From Lindsay Robertson
In his look at a world without online anonymity, Chris Baraniuk considers the effect on behaviour towards another person, if the first person can remain anonymous (26 October, p 34).
I wonder what the behavioural effects would be if, every time someone wanted to record or view my email or phone data, my financial transactions or travel plans, they first had to make it possible for me to trace their real name and address. After all, they’re not doing anything wrong, illegal or shameful – are they?
