Story of an honest Steemian. Honesty in today's world it still exists!!

This reminds me of the old Greek legend where the man has a ring that turns him invisible. before long he decides to get into all kinds of trouble. I don't think Human Nature has changed for the better since then, so I would expect similar results.

@bunnypuncher This question is very interesting, first the privacy is very important in the networks, but it can also be used in a negative way. By taking a hidden identity and the person feeling that they will not be affected by the facts they commit, being these good or bad. From this point of view being the person affected by an aggressor is very important to keep this identity hidden because it creates a protection that in turn also benefits the aggressor. Thank you for taking my opinion into account.

The problem of personal identity is a traditional problem in Western philosophy. Philosophers such as Plato, Descartes, Locke and Hume, there have been several proposals to understand the personality of personal identity. We will not stop at the exposition or the analysis of these positions, since this would take us away from the objectives of this work. The references only refer to some of the two main lines that have been left as possible answers to the problem of personal identity.

No, why no? Because some people use this obscurity as a means of doing uncivilised things that can cause frustrate other people lives online. According to what the Holy Bible says " that light reveals things while darkness hide or obscure things". So people should not be allowed to obscure their identity. Gracias!

They should not be forced to have to reveal their identities to access certain services, but you are probably asking this questions thanks to the european right to be forgotten and i believe thats not right, you shouldn't be able to have a clean slate, because that would allow people with bad rep to start again and steal or damage other people, thats why we use and love blockchain right? because of the transparency!

Well obsecurinf idenities online have
Its advantages and also its disadvantages
But what are the advantages and what are
The disadvantages?,the advantages is that the
Person will be able to stay anonymous and
Have the freedom to say or do whatever they want to do without thinking about who is monitoring or watching their activities
Now what are the disadvantages,some of the disadvantages of obscuring and identity online is that it willl increase the number of fraud cases and fraudsters because it will make Some people to freely defraud or aftempt to defraud anyone without feeling scared because they believe that they will not be caught by the police or other security agents
Another disadvantage is that it could
Make some people start using it to perpetrate
Evil like creating false alarms that can cause wars or make them to use it as a tools to promote their evil political ideas and they will not fear to do that simply because they believe that no one knows their identity or can find them
So when we look at some of the advantages and some of the disadvantages then we will realize that the dangers in the disadvantage is more than the pleasure in the advantages so it means that identity should not be obscured online.

Well that is a tough one. It all depends on what is behind. Anonymity can be good if the people have good intentions. In case people have very dangerous intentions such as illegal activities the obscuring of identity does not make much sense to me.
My asumption it that we will continue to need some forms of regulation to ensure the integrity of a system. In a way the blockchain systems are offering an excellent response to the matter.
