But there's nothing wrong with wanting to stay anonymous, no matter what you're doing. For one, anonymity may be the only way for a real whistleblower to reveal corruption, considering how some have been treated. There are always going to be good reasons for people to go online without being tracked.
It's not just about government spying it's also about how much data big companies such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft have collected in order to serve up targeted ads-not to mention how much of your personal data gets scooped up in all the breaches and hacks. But after years of learning about who's snooping into everything we do online, privacy on the web is hardly a given. Some might say the internet was built on anonymity, paving the way for a place where free speech reigns supreme.
