Anonymity: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
Esther Dyson
It's ironic that the Web once seemed to promise individuals new
opportunities to explore the world without showing their face. Instead, it
is turning out to be a powerful force against anonymity. Most information
about people's online actions is traceable - if someone with resources
cares to go to the trouble. But there will be much more to this trend than
the familiar fear of governments spying on innocent victims, or even
they-asked-for-it dissidents. The bigger questions revolve around the
tolerance of societies for diversity and recognition of the human capacity
for change.
