Anonymous Identity
"On the Internet, Nobody Knows You're a Dog"
Is that the case? Should it be?
In July 1993, The New Yorker (Vol.69 no. 20) published Peter Steiner's now famous cartoon "On the Internet, Nobody Knows You're a Dog."
This cartoon held that people can roam online anonymously. Perhaps back then. The question today is whether that is the case, and if so, should it be?
When looking at such online meeting place phenomena's like MyPlace, one must wonder if anonymity is good. I mean we can't have anonymity for ecommerce like banking to prevent identity theft. What can problems come out meeting anonymous people online?
Stay posted here to find out the pros and cons of anonymity on identity theft.
