This video "I am anonymous" was a very interesting video and some interesting information was included with this video. Anonymity is very important and is seen less and less today. Very rarely can someone post something on a website without having to be a member of the site, which means having a username, which is viewable by anyone who looks at the article or whatever it may be that someone commented on. Speech is a big part of our freedom and if someone does not want to be known for saying something, they shouldn't have to be. But also, there are so many people on a website that some people may think, why does it matter if we have to put a username by our posts because it is not like people would know who we were or anything? But the example of the guy who abused his cat is a great example. If something is said that could result in serious charges or get someone in big trouble, they can be tracked down and found. This is scary to think about, but it is also very interesting because it is good to know that people who think by putting stuff online cannot be tracked down actually can be tracked down and hopefully punished for whatever they have done.
This site that the video talked about is a great site because people can say whatever they want, but it can be deleted if it causes any conflict. People are free to say what they want, in limitation, and it gives people a great feel of having this freedom of speech. I found this website very interesting and it put some interesting information out there and made me realize a few things about anonymity I had not realized.
