But people act differently when they're anonymous. Are they still who they are underneath?

People act different at the bar than they do at work. They are the same person, but act differently in different situations.

Nazi Germany is an example of a closed society.

The main problem is that people also act differently in crisis. The currency fails and it's time to identify all the Jews. Some planes crash into some shps and it's time to lock up everyone of Japanese decent. The 8h amendment is fragile. Privacy is necessary to protect the inalienable rights of individuals.

Agreed. But some perversions come out easily now that there's a veil of privacy/anonymity.

"Privacy is necessary for an open society.*

"the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. "

What do you mean when you say, "perversions?"

Usually people are meaner than they normally would be in real life. A lot of sharing for sats etc.
