Jan Chip Chase’s thought-provoking quote below, CV Dazzle, and the German Pirate Party all prompt me to ask one question:
Should we pursue anonymity as a right, or anonymity as a market solution?
Surely there are people willing to pay for privacy, even total anonymity online. And maybe if companies see a valuable market in providing anonymity — we’ll keep you secret if you pay for it — then there might be more initiatives dedicated to doing so.
This makes me exceedingly uncomfortable. I don’t want anonymity to be a luxury for the rich or the technologically savvy.
