There are so many different ways one could handle the
responsibility of anonymity. It becomes the power of freedom and raw opinion,
bestowed to the participating community involved in anonymous social media
interfaces. When freeing deep thoughts onto the keyboard, it could be a
beautiful release of less mentioned content to the world, or nasty, belligerent
comments on better things. However, that should be everyone’s right to have
that choice, to freely say what’s on your mind. Nothing in life is ever
perfectly good, there always has to be a dark to the light, and that’s what
makes it real, and what makes us stronger. Stand up to trolls by embracing the
right to anonymity and spreading the righteous flip side of trolling; beautiful
writing.
Anonymity is definitely important and should be kept on a lot of forums. In a Room For Debate article, the author discussed benefits to being online and anonymous, using the platform for good. Anonymity can be a shield against those who are more outspoken and obvious with their aggression. It gives people a space to speak freely without the worries of being personally attacked.
