Anonymity is essential to privacy and free speech.
The e-mail technology creates problems for the right to anonymous communication since the sender of a message can be traced back through digital paths. Presently, there exist technologies that allow you to encrypt your messages in order to protect their privacy. From the moment you type in a Web address, a log is kept with information about your visit. Every day, most of us walk down the street without being recognized or tracked. While anonymity is often taken for granted in the physical world, such luxury is not available online.
