possible explanations
surveillance is the cost of privacy (nock)anonymity makes us strangers, and
strangers are untrustworthy…
(not just) ecommerce prefers authenticity business proceeds best by establishing
degrees of confidence about a stranger’s identity, attributes, credentials or eligibility

is anonymity going to the dogs?
“i like the idea of anonymity in principle, but i think that when there is a good showing that an anonymous actor is engaging in illegal conduct you have a right to find out who they are”

the assault on anonymity (1)
anonymity is generally dishonorable because it:
is the “refuge of scoundrels”
“facilitates wrong by eliminating accountability, which is ordinarily the very purpose of the anonymity.”
is “a distortion of the past that will lead to a coarsening of the future.”
per scalia j (dissenting, mcintyre v. ohio elections commission)

the assault on anonymity (2)
need to recognize shifting base conditions (taipale)
changing nature of compelling state interest and balance of power no longer “i am weak, state is strong” asymmetric threats no longer puny force multiplier effect of technology
changing nature & availability of alternative strategies crypto, chained remailers, etc enable (near) “true”
anonymity “no court order can break strong encryption”

shifting ground? (1)
“pay attention to what privacy advocates are saying … and note how frequently these days one hears privacy advocates talking less and less about …the right of privacy, and more and more about … something like a right to anonymity. moreover, note also how anonymity is increasingly spoken about as if … winning the right to be anonymous (e.g., with respect to this or that research database) were the same as winning the right of privacy, as if a victory for anonymity were a victory for privacy, as if to advocate for anonymity were to advocate for privacy, etc.”

shifting ground? (2)
“i used to be against identification cards … but I've changed my view…”
“some people have objected to the idea of identification cards because they believe that people ought to be able to disappear. i disagree with this view. i think there is confusion between the right of privacy and the right of anonymity. i don't think people should be able to disappear.”

shifting ground? (3)
“… the trend in our laws was to destroy any privacy at all -- that the idiocy of Patriot Act etc., was effectively eliminating any form of privacy.”
“there are two kinds of responses to this -- one to try to defend and build a system protecting absolute anonymity; the second is to build effective protections for pseudonymous life, which is shorthand for traceable transactions, but where the permission to trace is protected by something like a warrant requirement… in my view, we will make no progress following path one, but that we would strongly advance privacy if we could advance path two.”

the glue:
