As I've said before, privacy is a thing of the present, not of the future.
I'm sure it will take quite some time for everyone to get on board, but the
only way to real freedom is mutually assured surveillance. Anonymity is
worthless to most law abiding citizens. As fewer legal things become
"taboo" anonymity will be completely worthless, except to criminals. It's
not Orwellian at all. It's me watching you watching me watching Big Brother
watching us all.
This is transparency. This is the way.
