Qualche utile riflessione sul tema anonimato in rete, che troppo spesso in italia viene ridotto a: "che cosa hai da nascondere ?" juan carlos March 07, 2011 New Facebook Feature Empowers the Dangerous "Comment Nazis" Greetings. Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg has been quoted as saying: /"You have one identity. The days of you having a different image for your work friends or co-workers and for the other people you know are probably coming to an end pretty quickly ...
