Recently a Canadian model went to court about an anonymous user who was slandering, insulting, and basically abusing her over the internet. She won the case, and so won the user's information so something further could be done.

This has created a fair bit of controversy, since most people believe that being anonymous on the internet really means being completely anonymous. But, in my absolute opinion, I completely agree with the decision of the court.

I believe in free speech, it's one right that I will always fight for. Everyone is entitled to say anything they want about anything else or anyone, although you have to expect that some people will disagree with you. However, I believe that you should be able to say whatever you want, as long as everyone knows who's saying it.

It's pretty obvious that internet anonymity has spawned complete ass-hattery on almost every website that allows comments, and it has just gone too far. Just do away with internet anonymity, let people say what they want but have the balls to tell people who you are.
Everyone's an asshole when they don't think they'll get caught.

Infect Out.
