Do you have a right to be anonymous?
I like some of the points made in this article.
In this day and age, you are expected to identify yourself to a plethora of different individuals and entities every day. For whose benefit is it?
Quote:
The politicians and the mainstream media claim that anonymity must be prohibited in order to prevent corruption, but these are self-serving lies. The exact opposite is true. When people are afraid to speak, then corruption flourishes. Minority opinions have no power to corrupt the government, because they have no control over the government. Incumbent office holders are the people who have the power to do corrupt things, not the challengers you support, and not you, the taxpayer.
Total transparency is something the government owes to you, NOT something that you owe to the government.

I couldn't agree more with this sentiment.
