You can look at denying unknown user posts as limiting free speech. It certainly denies privacy. The last thing we want are outside forces governiing the Internet. Look at CDA. If people don't want unknown users, they should not allow them. Of they allowed them, no governing body should interfere. -Clump
I think we all can see the obvious implications of this--not just ACs on Slashdot, but in the entire Internet as well.
My main concern is that by conventional means, there will not be too many ways to police posts and online speech. As a result I fear that more tactics like Intels chip ID could be placed.
Anything that can be done can be taken, and this is something we might want to stand up for. -Clump

So? The only thing Xircom should be able to do is yell at Yahoo about allowing anonymous posts. Lets keep the Government out.
