Economist: "Anonymous no more"
by J.C. DE MARTIN May 2, 2011

May 2, 2011

Enfasi mia (i veri liberali si riconoscono anche per la coerenza). juan carlos / /*Anonymous no more* /The internet: It is becoming ever more difficult to browse the internet without leaving behind digital footprints that reveal your identity / Mar 10th 2011 | from the print edition WAY back in the early days of the web, in 1993, the /New Yorker/ ran a cartoon featuring two dogs sitting in front of a computer. The internet-savvy canine is saying to its friend: "On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog." This joke captured the freewheeling anonymity of the early stages of internet adoption, but it doesn't work now. Today websites often know a great deal about their visitors, including their names and interests. The ability to use the internet anonymously is being eroded on several fronts. Some popular websites, including Facebook, the leading social network, and Quora, a popular question-and-answer site, require users to give their real names, and block people who are suspected of using pseudonyms. Other sites ask that users provide their real names in order to be able to leave comments, in the hope that discussions will be more civil if people have to reveal their identities. [...] *But anonymity is freeing. It lets people go online and read about fringe political viewpoints, look up words they are embarrassed not to know the meaning of, or search for a new job without being thought extremist, stupid or disloyal. In America some judges have recognised that browsing habits will change if people feel that they are being watched. In rejecting a government demand for book-purchase data from Amazon, an online retailer, a judge wrote that the release of the information would create a chilling effect that would "frost keyboards across America". Librarians have long understood this, which is why they keep readers' files confidential. But many of the new custodians of people's reading records do not seem inclined to do the same.* Full article here: http://www.economist.com/node/18304046
