Should People Be Allowed to Obscure Their Identities Online?
In case you don't know who I am here is my intro post from way back:
BunnyPuncher Don’t worry your bunnies are “fairly” safe!
Story of an honest Steemian. Honesty in today's world it still exists!!
I believe that the honest person does not need that, I understand how to obscure their identity falsify and adulterate their data
Yes. I know some who do to avoid disclosing disabilities.
You just planted 0.02 tree(s)!

Yes, for social networks. No, for news sites and official platforms.
it should be an option if you want to
I believe that people should be able to obscure their identities online for security purposes.
I believe that people should be able to obscure their identities
online for security purposes. If people
don’t obscure their online identity, prospective employers or anyone else can
see anything they say online. No one
wants to get turned down by their dream job because of something they posted
online while drunk.
This reminds me of the old Greek legend where the man has a ring that turns him invisible. before long he decides to get into all kinds of trouble. I don't think Human Nature has changed for the better since then, so I would expect similar results.
@bunnypuncher This question is very interesting, first the privacy is very important in the networks, but it can also be used in a negative way. By taking a hidden identity and the person feeling that they will not be affected by the facts they commit, being these good or bad. From this point of view being the person affected by an aggressor is very important to keep this identity hidden because it creates a protection that in turn also benefits the aggressor. Thank you for taking my opinion into account.
Privacy is better, but identity is sometimes very necessary, to avoid problems, plagiarism, abuse, robberies and others.
Nice contest!
Privacy is paramount
If you write it down, every time you look in the mirror, you can review your note and take it a step further, instead of answering the same questions over and over again.
You might shake your head and ask for reasons like "no time," "no money," "family responsibilities," and so on. Instead of using those things as an excuse, start making plans to overcome obstacles in your life.
I think so. in some cases it is necessary to hide the personal data of each user
The problem of personal identity is a traditional problem in Western philosophy. Philosophers such as Plato, Descartes, Locke and Hume, there have been several proposals to understand the personality of personal identity. We will not stop at the exposition or the analysis of these positions, since this would take us away from the objectives of this work. The references only refer to some of the two main lines that have been left as possible answers to the problem of personal identity.
@bunnypuncher
No, why no? Because some people use this obscurity as a means of doing uncivilised things that can cause frustrate other people lives online. According to what the Holy Bible says " that light reveals things while darkness hide or obscure things". So people should not be allowed to obscure their identity. Gracias!
personally I think so, since not all pages are reliable

YEAH sometimes people needs privacy and find something to expres themself without jugment.
everything is in the decision of each person
I DONT THINK SO, THERE SHOULD BE SOME LEVEL OF PRIVACY ONLINE, TO THOSE WHO YOU TRUST THOUGH, BUT THIS DAYS ITS YOU FRIENDS THAT HURT OR HARM YOU, YOU CAN DECIDE TO STAY AWAY FROM MUCH TROUBLES FROM ONLINE TOO, E.G FRAUD, CYBERBULLYING AND OTHERS
Online world is an escape to our real world. Where everyone can choose who they want to be, as long as they cause no harm to others.
So it's up to them if they want to hide their identity.
I think, yes. Especially allowing for whistleblowers seems to be a benefit to our society.
Sometimes if it is preferable that the person is incognito because not all pages are reliable
Yes & No
They should not be forced to have to reveal their identities to access certain services, but you are probably asking this questions thanks to the european right to be forgotten and i believe thats not right, you shouldn't be able to have a clean slate, because that would allow people with bad rep to start again and steal or damage other people, thats why we use and love blockchain right? because of the transparency!
Sure. I can still wear makeup in public.
I bet you look great in makeup :)
Yeah, why not?
I think if! On some occasions it is preferable to remain anonymous! thanks @bunnypuncher greetings! Excelent topic
At some point obscuring privacy online is an advantage to avoid stealing of personal identity. But at the other point there is a disadvantage because some bad people are using it to bully others and to spam and hack other people accounts.
@bunnypuncher yes obviously they should. By the way congrats to all winners also.
Makin' random comments and yes to the question.
Short answer: Yes of course.
They should be allowed to make that choice.
Yes I am in favour of people can obscure their identity for public. But real identity for social media .
Now, I do not know what to say. because both sides have a point. If they want to obscure their identities, go on. But, it is there right....... I don't know.Both sides are correct. It's case to case basis.
It's a bit of a grey area. I would prefer to be anonymous online, but I am not a bully or troll who uses my anonymity in a despicable manner... I can see the pros and cons of both an allowed anonymity and being forced to portray yourself.
Congrats to the last contest's winners. :)
Every person should same as in real life . Dont make mask on online.
yes so that you can say anything without hesitation.
I cant understand why people hide identity online, some time its necessary but people do mostly.
Not at all, I am not in favour of People Be Allowed to Obscure Their Identities Online.
Yes people can hide identity, I never share my pictures online.
congrats!
They should do in most cases. I never attended facebook that's why.
I think it depends on what they are doing online. Some instances such as dealing with money, think KYC, should have to disclose their identity. While other instances it doesn't really matter.
I do disagree with the EU's right to be forgotten, it depends on what you have done that you want forgotten. It's like a scamer's best day ever, clean a few people out then ask for the info to be scrubbed, and do it all over again. Just rinse and repeat.
It actually annoyed me a bit with the US-based companies sending me statements saying they had to change their policies to comply. Which is a load of bull, it is a ruling from a union of countries, who have no jurisdiction in the US.
Count me in
Yes lots of crazy troll harassment now, its not even just online, they will call your workplace. Facebook was an exception, outside of that my real identity is not going online
People should be allowed to do whatever they feel like doing. Unless you know it is harmful to others.
~ Oscar Wilde
I think it's good to keep online identity confidential. But we can see that those who have made online identity public are problematic but they have increased a bit more.
