you ever think about how a judge decided Beth Upton didn't deserve anonymity
This is shocking. "The injunction was supposed to prevent harassment [of Brand], but it went well beyond that. It prohibits Ms Berki from telling anyone what she says happened to her – not journalists, not friends, not family, and not even the police."

Radha Sterling believes the system is unfair and needs reform, specifically a statute of limitations and removing accuser anonymity (as in the US). There is nothing like the abuse that victims receive even when the accused is found guilty that demonstrates why we have anonymity.

The whole ICE operation runs on anonymity. Unmarked cars, covered faces, no names, no accountability. The Bay Area just took the anonymity away. An agency that has to hide from the neighborhoods it raids has already confessed what it is.

I like the energy of naming a citizenship act after Liam Ramos, but I don’t think it’s fair to do that to a child. It would be a lot of pressure, and he deserves the opportunity to return to anonymity if that’s what he wants.

I know they worry that online "anonymity" is training us to be rude IRL but personally it's the street chuggers, evangelists and scam calls that have overcome my nonconfrontational default
