    One day there will be a worm that goes around the internet and will be able to link each comment and/or post to the actual physical person that made them. A global database will be created where anyone can look up an individual person and see everything they’ve posted on the internet, even if it was behind an anonymous username.

      I don’t doubt that. And I do fear it. And I’m pretty sure they’re already doing it, but the Mass public doesn’t have access to it yet, because every time I establish an account somehow Google tries to get involved. You know Google could be that worm to connect everything.

      I don’t like it because I thrive in anonymity and although I never do anything wrong (like literally if you run a background check on me, it comes back squeaky clean)

      whatever the case, I just feel more freedom with anonymity, you know what I mean? That’s why I try so hard to not affiliate all my new usernames with Google, but it’s all tied together because even if you try to separate Google from anything, they still find a way to get in there.

        You can’t hide secrets from the future, with math you can try, but I bet in the future they laugh at the half assed schemes and algorithm you amassed to enhance your cryptographs from the past
