Upending Anonymity, These Days the Web Unmasks Everyone
This is a NYT article by BRIAN STELTER and starts out “Not too long ago, theorists fretted that the Internet was a place where anonymity thrived…Now, it seems, it is the place where anonymity dies.”
After the usual discourse about how bad it is, the reporter appears to loose a number of facts…
- Discovery is because people are involved and for some reason we love a story.
- News is about new and headlines sell and sales means pay check
- It is quicker, easier and therefore relevant now as the context of who the “offender” is still present
- Is there a value gained that outweighs the loss of something you did not have?
