| | Anonymity and pseudonymity in cyberspace: |
 | | Posting anonymous messages casts doubt on the good will of all the innocent people who are perceived as possibly being the author of such messages. | | | Because of this consistency, social mechanisms have arisen in these worlds; e.g., avatars can be invited to join parties if they are perceived as friendly or excluded and shunned if they have violated the norms of the imaginary world. | | | In chat rooms and multi-user dungeons, anonymity permits a flowering of imaginative departures from the strictures of participants' real-world identity, social status, personality, gender and gender preferences, political affiliation, national origins, and religion. |

| | I also post anonymously because the internet me is not all of me. It’s the depressed, frustrated side of myself that I don’t unleash on the real world, that I keep hidden. | | | My family obviously knows, and I am not naïve enough to believe that my Dad (who is notoriously snoopy—Hi Dad!) is not reading it from time to time to see just what I’m up to. | | | I don’t think one can overemphasize the practical reasons for being anonymous online, but I am definitely most interested in addressing the gender/cultural assumptions at work here. |

People who insist on anonymity are usually backstabbers, we all know what happened to Judas. | | | Complete anonymity has no authority other than that afforded by the reasonable use of language: no one knows who I am in this forum, but I can gain authority by making reasonable and well thought out claims. |

| | Of the many aspects of privacy protection that are at present inadequately addressed, I argued in Clarke (1999c) that the most critical policy imperatives for the coming century are the following: | | | Froomkin (1995) uses untraceable anonymity' for what I define as 'anonymity', and distinguishes 'traceable anonymity' where a person's identity is known but their profile is not (which I would call 'pseudonymity without an associated profile'). | | | This section outlines methods that are commonly used in authentication, anonymity and pseudonymity. |

| | This predictable and reasonable reaction casts doubt on the long-term viability of existing Internet anonymizing schemes. | | | There is considerable contention about the social desirability of network anonymity schemes, with some people envisioning a free-thinking realm where ideas are decoupled from the excess baggage of reputation and others arguing against the very same schemes, since they also decouple offensive expression from the responsibility for its dissemination. | | | Network anonymity primarily concerns sender untraceability, i.e., the property that passive and/or active attackers located near a receiver should be unable to determine the network entity that originated an observed communication. |

| | Anonymity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Anonymity is derived from the greek word ανωνυμία, meaning without a name or name-less. | | | In colloquial use, the term typically refers to a person, and often means that the personal identity, or personally identifiable information of that person is not known. | | | Many acts of charity are performed anonymously, as well, as benefactors do not wish, for whatever reason, to be acknowledged for their action. |

| | Anonymous communications have an important place in our political and social discourse. | | | Instead of using their true names to communicate, these people choose to speak using pseudonyms (assumed names) or anonymously (no name at all). | | | Whistleblowers report news that companies and governments would prefer to suppress; human rights workers struggle against repressive governments; parents try to create a safe way for children to explore; victims of domestic violence attempt to rebuild their lives where abusers cannot follow. |
