I agree completely. What sort of world do these people live in, that think we have no need for privacy? A world with no stalkers, for sure. One where people aren't fired or harassed or beaten - or worse - when things like their sexual orientation or religious beliefs are made public.

And honestly, do these people have no interests they don't want in the public eye? No kinks they'd like to keep quiet about - I'm largely asexual and even I have kinks. No movies or music they love that they're a little ashamed to admit to being fans of? No hobbies that are even a little offbeat - it's one thing to say you love hiking but another to say you write porny fanfic or collect teacups or whatever?

Anonymity does lend people license to be the most vile and obnoxious excuses for human beings - the 'secret' type comms prove that, as do Youtube and Yahoo comments. But it's not always the case. It can also let people be who they are without fear of censure, backlash, or even physical harm.

And if Facebook wants to talk about accountability they need to start by doing a better job of preventing hate pages from being set up - often by people apparently using their own names.
