	Anonymity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anonymity is a result of not having identifying characteristics (such as a name or description of physical appearance) disclosed.
		In some cases, anonymity is reached unintentionally, as is often the case with victims of crimes or war battles, when a body is discovered in such a state that the physical features used to identify someone are no longer present.
		Anonymity may reduce the accountability one perceives to have for his actions, and removes the impact these actions might otherwise have on his reputation.

	The Open Society Paradox: Anonymity Archives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Anonymizer, which offers a service to surf the Internet anonymously, has just published a press release on their company's growth.
		Anonymity through their service is accomplished by routing web page requests through their servers which keeps an individual's IP address hidden from web sites.
		Of course, traceable anonymity such as the most simple case of using a psuedonym on the Internet to employing the services of a company like Anonymizer, is beneficial in that it allows individuals some privacy and free speech protections while allowing authorities to track down a suspect when a law is broken or security threatened.

	THE IMPACT OF ANONYMITY ON DISINHIBITIVE BEHAVIOR THROUGH COMPUTER-MEDIATED COMMUNICATION
		A user’s perceived anonymity is the ability to remain unaccountable within his or her social environment for actions and dialogue, both legally and socially.
		Users may often perceive that they are anonymous when they are not, may find a deeply personal attachment to a label so that it becomes part of their own personality, or may be far less protected from repercussions than they perceive.
		By allowing such "tagged" individuals to treat the medium as different levels of anonymity (by informing the poster before she posts of her level of anonymity), the posters are then assured of being cognizant of their anonymity level when posting.

	Daily Blague: Anonymity
		I can think of a not-anonymous blog whose author is so discreet that it is impossible to draw inferences about his romantic life.
		Anonymity itself suggests that there is a reason, above and beyond ordinary discretion, for anonymity.
		In an exchange about a well-known anonymous blogger who has recently written about transferring her affections, a friend told me that she is reluctant to post very much about her boyfriend for exactly this reason.

	Tor (anonymity network) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tor's application independence sets it apart from most other anonymity networks: it works at the TCP stream level.
		It is important to note, as with many anonymous web surfing systems, direct DNS requests are usually still performed by many applications, without using the Tor proxy.
		Anonymous usage of SMTP (i.e., e-mail) usually results in spam.

	Anonymity and pseudonymity in cyberspace:
		For example, the desire to post anonymous libel (construed as privacy of personal behaviour) conflicts with the desire of the victim to be free from libel; anonymity makes it impossible to use the civil law for redress.
		Anonymous remailers permit users to send e-mail to a central address where all identifying information is stripped and the original text is then retransmitted to the desired destination.
		Anonymity and pseudonymity make law enforcement difficult enough, but these difficulties are exacerbated by the jurisdictional problems caused by a thoroughly decentralised communications medium like the Internet; "[W]ho should be setting the rules that apply to this new global medium?" (Post and Johnson, 1997).

	EFF: Anonymity/Pseudonymity
		Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority.

	Anonymity on the Internet Must be Protected
		Anonymous posting/reply services on the internet were started around 1988 and were introduced primarily for use on specific newsgroups which discussed particularly volatile, sensitive and personal subjects.
		One relevant example of anonymity in the real world is the debate over Caller ID on telephones.[4] A great deal of people were extremely disturbed that the person on the receiving end of a telephone call would know the identity of the caller.
		After 2 anonymous messages were canceled using the ARMM program, an anonymous user called an8785 retaliated by posting Depew's address of employment and the name and phone number of his supervisor on the net.

	Wendy's Blog: Legal Tags: The Importance of Anonymity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Many see anonymity as a bug of Internet architecture, to be eliminated in the next revision; or at best a feature of limited value readily traded off against other costs and benefits.
		More currently, whistleblowers use anonymity to expose company wrongdoing; human rights activists use anonymity to report human rights abuses; uncertain teenagers and adults use anonymity or pseudonymity to discuss their sexuality; and citizens of all political stripes still use anonymity to debate politics and governance without being judged on their personal atributes.
		The others are entitled to use anonymity up until the point that they are found to have misused it, not to have this fundamental right stripped on mere accusations.

		Traditionally, AA members have always taken care to preserve their anonymity at the "public" level: press, radio, television, and films.
		Then, too, we believe that the concept of personal anonymity has a spiritual significance for us—that it discourages the drives for personal recognition, power, prestige, or profit that have caused difficulties in some societies.
		AA is indebted to all media for their assistance in strengthening the Tradition of anonymity over the years.

	FAQ: Anonymous Usenet posting, another view
		If you are using an anonymous remailer to hide your identity be aware of the fact that some Usenet news readers routinely killfile material that is posted through those anonymizers.
		The ploy is to use several anonymous identities to create an illusion of a popular accord.
		Fear of the present or future boss: One of the superficially valid-sounding arguments that has been presented in favor of anonymity is the worry that the potential employers might later check the news repositories for the postings of the applicant.

	Roger Clarke's The Id-Anonymity Spectrum
		The selection of appropriate alternatives, in most circumstances intermediate between the extremes of identification and anonymity, is argued to be critical to the establishment of trust in electronic commerce, and to the maintenance of social and democratic freedoms.
		An anonymous record or transaction is one whose data cannot be associated with a particular individual, either from the data itself, or by combining the transaction with other data.
		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').

	Network Anonymity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		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.
		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.
		Local anonymity is immune to this problem, since communication streams that originate at an anonymous coalition are not identifiably anonymous, and so blocking one coalition has no effect on any others.

	Anonymity's spiritual value, self worth, safety (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The first is a complete misunderstanding of anonymity and the second is a severely limited model of the breadth and depth of this very spiritual tradition.
		When we speak of certain AA members breaking the tradition by being anonymous below the level of press, radio and film, we are speaking about people who have been around long enough to begin working the steps and becoming responsible AA members and still stay anonymous (secret) in their own communities.
		At the person to person and the neighborhood level being anonymous is the same as being secret and this is the exact opposite of carrying the message.

	RussellBeattie.com - Anonymity
		Yes, there'll always be the people like myself who can't wait to stand up in front of the class and tell everyone what they think, the vast majority would probably rather sit in their seats and let their feelings be known in a less public manner.
		There are ways of remaining anonymous, but also claiming identity (with a password scheme called tripcodes) and there are image-based boards filled with Anime and Porn called Futabas, but the basic principals still remain.
		To me, complete anonymity in a forum is one of those counter-intuitive ideas that don't seem to make sense, but obviously works if implemented correctly.

		These systems either give you an anonymous address, to which other people can send you mail, which is then forwarded to your real address (this is sometimes referred to as a pseudonymous server), or they post or mail your message without any trace of the sender's name or address.
		When someone posts to Usenet anonymously, a typical reaction can be "I don't listen to what you write, because you didn't use your real name".
