Bill Gates on anonymity

BEGIN QUOTE I'm not suggesting we do away with all forms of anonymity. I can imagine electronic communities where anything goes and no one can trace the real origin of information - or verify its authenticity. You would enter such a community - by deciding to read or watch the information posted there - at your own risk, and if people said offensive or untrue things to you, your only recourse would be to set the record straight in the same forum. Consenting adults should be entitled to participate in this kind of community. But kids certainly should not. END QUOTE The full text is at http://nytsyn.com/live/Gates/270_092795_082520_2997.html
