~s/anonymity/pseudonymity

You can establish multiple personas and associate various speech and behavior with each, but those are pseudonyms rather than actual anonymous behavior.

Still: anonymous (or pseudonymous) speech is a core component of free speech, and it's a liberty we need to preserve both legally and technically.




Anonymity is just the degenerate case of pseudonymity where you never re-use a pseudonym, anyway.
