The question isn't whether we should do something, but rather whether we should try to mitigate it or adapt to it. If we didn't cause it, chances are we can't mitigate it, so the only choice is to adapt.
What we need is to ensure you can say anonymous online, or at least not have to use your real name. Online identitites are easy to reinvent, real ones aren't.
Compare the Hungarian and the British websites for university application. On the Hungarian site, the link for actually doing application stuff is the tiny "én felvim" box in the top right.
It's still an embarrassment for open source though. In theory this sort of stuff shouldn't happen because "everyone can see the source", and if it does, it shouldn't take seven months to fix.

Do you know any other characteristics we can look for?
I'm playing Tie Fighter right now! Works perfectly in dosbox.
This is regulation of the companies so they can't regulate the internet, so to speak. Slashdot has always been for net neutrality.
That's because they don't need to license their own patent.
You better get on the phone and tell the rocket scientists about this right now!
It means you have to be able to post to Slashdot from your cheese grater
My master password is ********.
When will they learn that raw data converted to sound isn't music?
Now we know why they call Japanese moonspeak.
Mono does support almost everything though, and the things it doesn't are either obscure or way too big (like WPF, but Linux people use GTK# anyway).
I guess it didn't work on the guy who wrote the headline.

Or they want to use the update infrastructure they control and are familiar with. Not evetything is a conspiracy.
Thank god "communist" China is attentive to the needs of the proletariat, huh?
The toolbars are Microsoft software.
