Description
Summary:PUBLISHED Reykjavik, Iceland In public and private discourse, some may be heard to express disquiet about the supposed dangers of anonymity. Anonymous suggestion boxes may be classed with anonymous accusation of crime with the accusation forming the basis of legal proceedings. In some contexts, anonymity does appear to create danger. However, other contexts reveal that important benefits accrue from having the possibility of anonymous expression. Some of the literature on behavioral impacts of anonymity is reviewed with the aim of analyzing social media systems in light of their support for anonymous contribution. A new system is described. The new system supports anonymous communication, while thwarting some of the obvious risks that anonymity affords.
