Anonymity is a relatively recent inovation, barely possible before written language, remaining exotic through the invention of the printing press. Only with modern tech does it characterize a major slice of discourse. The net effect may be negative, as you and I seem to suspect.https://twitter.com/NAChristakis/status/1114609855682285568 …
Fake costs of anonymity: 'fake news' proliferates; bots; SJWs offended Real costs: dogpiling by trolls; doxing campaigns; general viciousness And yet, anonymity might be crucial in places like China, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, even in EU given 'hate speech' laws
We live in a world where if you say the square root of 4 is 2 you’re praised but if you say the square root of 4 is also -2 you’re drummed out of society. If you want anyone speaking about -2 you need anonymity.
Without anonymity speech can never truly be free.
EU does not have "hate speech" laws. Countries in the EU - like UK, Poland or Italy - do have such laws.
I said 'in EU', not 'under EU'
Like Mr. Miyagi said in the classic Street Fighter: anonymity is a superpower, and wit greit pauer kams greit responsibility.
Uncle Ben wuz raite!
I think there’s a balance between anonymity and accountability. For me, I feel you should be able to decide on a per tweet basis.https://twitter.com/jordanmoore/status/1103249859036020736?s=21 …
Down with anonymous accounts!!! How dare they say what they think without fear of retribution.
I sense open and disagreeable people who are polite and highly neurotic benefit from anonymity too (yes I'm projecting)
