Student Opinion | Should People Be Allowed to Obscure Their Identities Online? NYTimes.com

Posted on December 14, 2011 by mrshawke

This New York Times student opinion question focuses on online identities and uses a great word that may be new to you: obscure.

Students: Tell us what you think about the question of identity online. What, to you, are the most compelling arguments for or against real-name policies? How and why does it matter whether you are identified authentically online? Do you participate in online networks, Web sites and activities where you are identified? Do you participate in any where you can be anonymous? What’s the difference?

    I got your comment, Hunter, but I’m not sure why you posted it here twice.
