The Danish authorities have - or had - proposed to effectively abolish anonymous Internet use entirely. It's all part of fighting terrorism, you see.
There's not much to say, really. You either support peoples' right to use the Internet freely and to be able to operate under the assumption that they aren't guilty of a crime, or you don't. The Danish police have apparently chosen the latter option.

What crimes are you assumed to be guilty of if you have a telephone number, a street address, a driver's licence, a SIN number or any of dozens of other "invasions" of your privacy? Being a member of any large organisation where mutual trust is desirable for the good of all involved means that you surrender some of your individuality. This isn't about Big Brother as much as it is about ME, ME, ME.
Coming to Canada soon thanks to Harper's internet censorship law.

Listen up ,govt has all kinds of info about every single one of you out there from the time your born to the time you die.

Trust = Orawellese for "submission"

Here's the way I look at it: if I had to give up my ID to walk down the street to go about my daily business, I'd be quite unhappy about it. I spend a good deal of time on the Internet - I work online, shop online, read my news online, stay in touch with a lot of people online, etc. The Internet is my daily business, and if it was me ( not that it is ), I'd be really pissed off to have to ID myself to go about it.

Let's hope not.
