Is online anonymity worth the harassment it enables?

Protecting vulnerable truth-tellers and private citizens is more important than eliminating every shield misused by abusers.

Anonymity protects the powerless who expose wrongdoing, and that civic and safety value outweighs abuse better fought through moderation than mass identification.

Online anonymity is essential for protecting free expression, safeguarding whistleblowers, and shielding vulnerable individuals from persecution.
