Anonymity Online Under Attack: China And Australia
,----[ Quote ]
| For the most part, the US has recognized that the right to be anonymous
| is a form of protected free speech -- and yet, anonymity is constantly
| under attack. Of course, the right to be anonymous is not absolute, but
| there is value in allowing anonymous speech to occur. With the right to
| anonymity under attack in the US, it's even worse in other countries,
| where such rights aren't even seen as vital as it is in the US. China,
| for example, is now requiring news websites to force all commenters to
| reveal their real identity.

| Many participants and speakers referenced to the OOXML standardisation
| process, in particular were intrigued by the French AFNOR developments.
| Generally speakers feel concerned about OOXML to become a standard in
| governmental procurement. In private a government delegate compared
| Microsoft's public affairs methods with the scientology cult.
