The user shall not expect the system to provide anonymous or pseudonymous accounts. Each user shall be identified by their legal identity. Users can request that the system not place their name in a publicly available directory of registered users. Users shall not impersonate another user of the system or masquerade as someone other than who they really are. A user shall not give their password or login name to any other person.
Users are responsible for all activities within their login name.
Users shall identify themselves in their communications upon request of other users. However, users shall not be obligated to identify themselves if they believe that they are being stalked in any way or that their privacy is being violated. Due to the fact that the complete lack of anonymous or pseudonymous speech would have a chilling effect on speech, users can request the system to construct and support special communications forums where users can choose to participate anonymously or under a pseudonym. In such forums only the system administrator and the governing body of the system shall have the ability to know the true identity of the user beneath the anonymous or pseudonymous identity. This right shall be protected by the system against intervention from individuals and other communities who wish to impose their standards and values upon the system and its electronic community at large.
