James Gardner è un professore di diritto costituzionale, materia fortemente "politica" Ha speso ogni sua energia per apparir nella sua professione neutrale: «Faccio grandi sforzi nelle mie lezioni per mostrarmi ideologicamente neutrale e al di sopra delle parti, e sono convinto che questo accentui la mia efficacia per una vasta gamma di studenti.». 
Gardner sostiene finanziariamente come molti americani diverse campagne politiche e cerca sempre di rimanere anonimo nei versamenti, là dove possibile. 
Nel 2011 l'Huffingtonpost pubblicò il suo nome in relazione ad una campagna dei democratici; il dato, in nome della trasparenza, era pubblico ma nei registri della Federal Election Commission. L'articolo per lungo tempo compariva come primo risultato nelle ricerche del suo nome su Google,  vanificando ogni suo sforzo per apparir neutrale di fronte ai suoi studenti. Racconta la sua esperienza in un articolo Anonymity and Democratic Citizenship , in «William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal» http://scholarship.law.wm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1584&context=wmborj (interessante ma non fondamentale eh! ) e mi è tornato alla mente leggendo il tread sul cashless.
Scusate per l'errato invio.

L’anonimato si può ottenere con le tecniche di blockchain.
Comunque sia, cosa c’entra l’anonimato coi poteri totalitari?
Ci sono norme per proteggere la privacy, che dovrebbero assicurare che l’accesso alle informazioni sia consentito.

Intendevo “non sia consentito”.

Apart from the issues mentioned in the article, creating a cashless
society would be the ultimate step, after making impossible to
communicate and to travel anonymously, leading to a de facto
totalitarian regime.

In my action in solidarity with young minors refugees, I was able to
experience directly how, today, someone who is denied its fundamental
rights recognized by law has no chance to ever find a way to challenge
this denial if s/he cannot:

1. communicate anonymously, i.e. at least have access to a SIM card and
the related subscription without providing an ID,

2. travel anonymously in particular by long distance train, i.e. buy a
ticket which is anonymous and not connected to an identity

3. get money through solidarity and spend it as cash.

The first two conditions are at severe risk. For instance in France one
of the 2 companies providing pay mobile phones no longer accept to do it
without a proof of id, and SNCF is fast moving to eliminate anonymous
tickets.

Eliminating cash would be the ultimate and fatal blow.

public acceptance of central-bank independence, by reinforcing the trust
and support of the people in the conduct of effective monetary
policymaking.//

//The ECB will continue to provide banknotes. We will also facilitate
the further development of an integrated, innovative, and competitive
market for retail payment solutions in the eurozone. If, one day, cash
is replaced by electronic means of payment, that decision should reflect
the will of the people, not the force of lobby groups."//
