for my culture, it means introvert or selflessness or the protection of personal information. when in school, we need to vote to decide who'll be monitor or who can get some title of honor. then anonymity is needed to aviod offending others...or when you grow unsatisfied with someone, especially someone in office or with reputation, you can write to his superior anonymously.
Interesting.
Anonymity is indeed very important in society. It's very useful during election, it can be use by people to report crimes/evil without fear, vulnerable people could use it to stay safe under tyranny/evil, and ofcourse certain people prefer/enjoy being anonymous while doing good etc
Anonymity could be abused aswell. But we can't deny innocent people their right to be anonymous because of evil people who abuse the right.
It's important to encourage
Safe Anonymity. The Right to be anonymous should be guaranteed and can be taken away from people use it to commit serious crimes.
It should be possible to track people who are anonymous in public space, but you still guarantee their anonymity. This can work really well on a decentralized, transparent, immutable, system/network.
