If Carol has an alibi at the time of the attack, we can infer that it must have been Alice or Bob who emptied the safe. In this case, the offender is no longer completely anonymous, as Alice and Bob now know „who did it“ with a probability of 1. The unanimous adjective comes from the Latin word unanimus, which means „a spirit.“ So if people think unanimously, they all have the same idea in mind. A vote is unanimous, if all voters agree. Marcus Cicero said, „The power is great, the authority of a Senate that is unanimous in its opinions.“ Pressure on anonymous communications increased considerably after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 2001 and the new political climate that followed. Although it is still difficult to control their exact effects, measures such as the US Patriots Act, the European Convention on Cybercrime and EU data retention rules are only very clear that the exercise of the right to anonymous exchange of information is under considerable pressure. [39] The Community depends on interpretation. His daily business is the transaction of meaning. With each appearance of an exile and his wardrobe with recognizable masks, the community itself performs this testimony and interpretation. The ritual of becoming, seeing, coming out and reacting to the antagonism of exile contributes to the recivism of exile: a variant that does not feed the troll, more difficult to defend, because silent testimony can be as powerful as conversation (feeding). The distinction between confidentiality and anonymity is particularly important to us in Thoughtexchange, as we perform hundreds of online interaction processes involving thousands of participants.
So we`ve been thinking a lot about what`s important to the participants, our customers and the integrity of a Thoughtex process. While anonymity on the Internet can provide a harmful environment that can harm others, anonymity can provide a much safer and more relaxed Internet experience. In a study conducted at Carnegie Mellon University, 15 out of 44 participants said they chose to be anonymous online because they had had negative experiences before, in which they had no anonymous presence. [19] These experiences include harassment, disclosure of private information by an opposing school group, or the breakdown of a person to travel to another country to find a job that did not exist. Participants in this study stated that they were able to avoid their past problems by using false online identification.
