"There’s an idea that pops up every so often among people who are upset
about misinformation online but don’t actually understand the realities
of online communities and the dynamics of how it all works: it’s the
idea that “anonymity” is the root cause of many of the internet’s
problems. We’ve spent years debunking this, though it’s been nearly a
decade since there was a previous focus on this issue – and it’s now
coming back."
