It is increasingly difficult to be both private and anonymous in a hyper-connected world. Privacy is generally a constitutionally protected right, but anonymity is not. Privacy and anonymity are also legally distinct concepts, and one does not guarantee the other. Everyone can read your comment, although they may not know it was you who posted it. If you send an encrypted email to your friend, it’s private - only you (the sender) and your friend (the recipient) are able to read it.Ĭonversely, if you post a comment on a forum under an internet moniker, it’s not private at all. While the concepts overlap, they are by no means interchangeable. Anonymity is freedom from identification or recognition.
Privacy is freedom from observation or attention.Privacy and anonymity are often tossed about as synonymous terms but they are actually related ideas that represent different things.
