Online abuse: banning anonymous social media accounts is not the answer
Anonymity is important because it allows you to have discussions purely based on the arguments and opinions, without the bias of <i>who</i> youre talking to.<p>I often find myself having a wonderfully deep discussion with someone online, and when I eventually find out what they look like (etc), I often realize that they dont look as friendly, educated, etc as they are.<p>Humans are really bad at this, and you will put people into groups in your mind no matter how hard you try. Anonymity mostly removes this bias, and leads to <i>real</i> and pure equal exchange of ideas.
