Anonymity has nothing to do with sexting or online bullying. It makes stalking a tad easier, but it’s not exactly rare offline. Copyright infringement was not invented on the internet, people have been passing around mix tapes, plagarising articles and watching bootleg videos for considerably longer than there has been HTML.

The internet is a communications medium, it allows people to do things they were doing before, just faster and cheaper. Yes, some of those things aren’t nice things, but creating a panopticon to force people to conform to societal norms really isn’t the answer.
