#Anonymity allows for a transformation of identity into creative and curious ways. It allows for full expression. It allows for committing mistakes in public. It also allows for people to learn from these mistakes. Anonymity in an era of bright #surveillance and #AI hype will keep the creative energy of humanity alive. There may be bad actors out there who would take advantage of anonymity or #privacy, but that would apply to every single else these bad actors would be using too. Pursue the criminal, do not attack the human right. Attack the foundation that gives rise to criminal behavior in the first place. Resist all attacks that pillage at the foundation of private spaces and individuality. Individuality in an age of mass surveillance and commercialization is under attack. Anonymity is the only defense for individuals and groups. Private spaces will allow people to express their values without being psy-op'd. If power was diffused to all in society, perhaps we wouldn't need anonymity, and people can freely express themselves without fear of anything. The silver lining about this entire surveillance mesh is that surveillance creates it's opposite. It cannot erase anonymity. Anonymity will flourish under these conditions. #freedom
