They are both increasingly necessary as we get increasingly wiretapped and tracked, legally so or not, and it\u2019s important to understand why they are an integral part of our civil liberties \u2013 why they are not just beneficial to the individual, but absolutely critical to a free society.<\/p>\n<p>Privacy is the ability to keep some things to yourself, regardless of their impact to society. To take a trivial example, I lock the door when I go to the men\u2019s room \u2013 not because I\u2019m doing something criminal or plotting to overthrow the government in the men\u2019s room, but simply because I want to keep the activity there to myself.<\/p>\n<p>Research shows that it goes beyond a want and is a deep need \u2013 in all societies through history, people have created private spaces for themselves. Even in the most oppressive regimes, people have found a way to do something, something little, outside of prying eyes. This is rather telling.<\/p>\n<p>When somebody says that only criminals have something to hide, they are plain wrong, as evidenced by this observation. Nobody would dream of making a keyboard for people with three arms, based on the simple fact that people <em>don\u2019t have<\/em> three arms. Yet, some surveillance hawks and cohorts are pushing for a society for people with no need for privacy \u2013 despite the fact that such people do not exist.<\/p>\n<p>So privacy is a concept describing activities that you keep entirely to yourself, or to a limited group of people.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, anonymity is when you <em>want<\/em> people to see what you do, just not that it\u2019s you doing it. The typical example would be if you want to blow the whistle on abuse of power or other forms of crime in your organization without risking career and social standing in that group, which is why we typically have strong laws that protect sources of the free press. You could also post such data anonymously online through a VPN, the TOR anonymizing network, or both. This is the analog equivalent of the <em>anonymous tip-off letter<\/em>, which has been seen as a staple diet in our checks and balances.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s obvious that these concepts \u2013 privacy and anonymity \u2013 are beneficial for the individual. But more importantly, it is in society\u2019s interest overall that every individual have these benefits. There is not just an individual benefit, but a collective benefit.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve discussed a bit about the benefit of anonymity already \u2013 without anonymity in society, we\u2019ve essentially lost the ability to keep our government in check. Simple as that. (Unless you want to pull a Snowden and flee halfway across the planet, but most people probably don\u2019t want to do that.)<\/p>\n<p>The benefit and necessity of privacy are a bit more\u2026 hidden under the surface, and has to do with the fundamentals of democracy. In a democratic nation, we elect people to govern the country, including the full capacity to apply to force to individual citizens. Then, after a term of <em>n<\/em> years, we hold them accountable to their performance and re-evaluate whether they are fit to run the country or not.<\/p>\n<p>If these leaders with the full capacity of a country\u2019s force had the ability to look into voters\u2019 homes, hearts, and minds, they would be able to <em>hold voters accountable<\/em> for their thinking and opinions, rather than the other way around. It becomes a complete 180-degree reversal of power. This is why privacy for the citizens and transparency for the government is paramount in a democratic society. And indeed, every society that has had it the other way around \u2013 transparent citizens and opaque government \u2013 have been, shall we say, low-satisfaction societies.<\/p>\n<p>But anonymity isn\u2019t just important to blow the whistle on scandals. It can have profound catalyzing effects in developing society, in particular when breaking taboos or forwarding forbidden causes that were later vindicated.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the events that led up to the formation of the United States centered early on something known as the <em>Federalist Papers<\/em> \u2013 documents and pamphlets nailed to trees throughout the then-British colony, documents advocating secession from England, independence, and a United States of America.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, advocating such opinions publicly was high treason, not just punishable by death, but by a particularly <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hanged,_drawn_and_quartered\">gruesome type<\/a> of death. It\u2019s not hard to see why the <em>Federalist Papers<\/em> were posted anonymously.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, to illustrate the importance of anonymity not just to the individual but to society overall, the United States would not exist as a country if anonymity had not existed at the time preceding the Declaration of Independence.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, both privacy and anonymity \u2013 although different \u2013 are essential to a democratic society, not just to the individuals, but to society overall.<\/p>\n<p>As an end note, it could be argued that nobody is really anonymous, but <em>pseudonymous<\/em> \u2013 that is, everybody has a name of some sort, even if it is one that cannot be connected to their common name. If you\u2019re uploading evidence of a government scandal under the nickname \u201cScarlet Whistleblower\u201d, are you really anonymous, or did you just create yourself a new name for this specific purpose? Arguably, the latter.<\/p>\n<p>This can be seen as a philosophical issue with little real-world impact, and today, it is. However, the teenagers growing up today are used to changing names online more frequently than underwear, and I predict the values around something as basic as a name can change dramatically over the next few generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Privacy and anonymity are two different concepts.
