Anon. (Score 2)

I can understand why some people would want to eliminate / reduce the anonymity of the internet, but I think doing so at the risk of losing privacy would be a big mistake. Sure, you might catch some criminals, but I'm sure this would just be exploited to the point where people would be tracked for engaging in harmless activities (looking at homosexual porn, downloading pirated music, what have you) because the practice happens to be illegal (sure, homosexuality isn't illegal in all states, but you get my point), rather than going after serious criminals (like child pornographers). Yes, you might think that law enforcement would only track serious criminals, but think about it ... do you think cops spend more money, time, and manpower looking for murderers, rapists and other serious criminals, or for people who break the speed limit?
