Artifact 6: I am Anonymous

Anonymity has been totally abolished since the development of the internet.  This is scary because it seems like people can no longer do the things that they want to do or say the things that they want to say.  This website that he talks about in the video gives people a place where they can be free to talk about whateever they want and express themselves in whatever way they choose.  The wonderful thing about the site is that it is totally anonymous.  Therefore, the people of the site cannot get themselves into trouble online for anything that they say because they cannot be tracked.

I think that the internet should be entirely anonymous because we live in a country where freedom of speech is a right.  However, with internet tracking, people can become targets because of their speech or beliefs.  I like the idea of this site, and it seems to be very popular.  It also shows that when people feel like they are free do express themselves, some revolutions and movements can be started online, such as the one he talked about with the cat abuser who was caught and put in jail for his crimes.  I think that people can use the internet for some real good, and this website shows it.
