Social Authorship (Unread)

This article explains how a chain of pawn shops in Texas sued an anonymous John Doe who posted comments on an Internet message board criticizing the chain of shops. The chain thought that the John Doe may have been a former employee. Despite Doe's efforts to protect his identity, the court rejected Doe's motions. This article shows that although Internet users are often thought to have a right to anonymity, the privacy of Internet users is not enforced by law. Actions that are considered criminal offline are also considered unlawful on the Internet. Still, the rulings of cases involving online anonymity are ultimately decisions of the courts they are heard in.

This site is dedicated to helping Internet users protect their anonymity and their privacy. Anonymity.com offers an anonymity test that helps Internet users to understand what kind of information they are revealing about their identity when surfing the Internet. The anonymity test uses symbols to warn users when they are revealing information that they may not be aware of. The link anonymizer allows Internet users to link to websites without passing along information to the destination site. The site also offers the OpenID Anonymity service. This service is very similar to OpenID. However, users do not have to use a set profile, but can instead remain completely anonymous through the use of randomized user names created by Anonymity.com.
