Recently, there has been some talk on here concerning anonymous remailers and harassment. I don't think we will ever exist in a society where anonymous information sources will be eliminated. Even 50 years ago, the "rumour mill" was the equivalent of the modern anonymous remailer. And yes, harassing rumours got started and hurt people. But the fault, as I see it, lies not so much in those who started the rumour, but more in the people who believed the rumour without trust in the source. And that is where cryptographically secure models of trust comes in. If we are going to continue to be coherent in our future virtual world, we are going to have to "filter out" information which originates from sources which we do not have a cryptographic web of trust to. Does this make any sense? -Thomas (I'm not signing this message on purpose ;)
