First: Tell this to anyone that is trying to change their government
in a repressive regime. Or to the anonymous authors of the papers that
lead to revolt in the british colonies back in the 1770's.

Second: If I can target my ad specific enough, I can find out which IP
downloads that ad/graphic. Then I can hunt that person down. Is that
sufficiently non-anonymous/personalized for you?

Third: Are you really saying "If you have nothing to hide, then you
should not mind everyone else knowing everything about you"?

I happen to like my right to privacy, and anonymity.

If you are saying that the only people who are entitled to privacy and
anonymity are those few that are real changers, then you are saying
that the real changers stand out and are easy to spot. The only way
for those people to have true privacy is if everyone else demands the
privacy that they don't actually need.

This is why I'm so disappointed with Tor: they focus so much on the
security and non-trackability of those who need it to the point that
normal people can't use it -- way too slow.
