I vaguely remember the problem with the ‘beauty contest’.

In the online world it is hard to hold folks accountable for their acts and words, since they can hide behind fairly-anonymous screen names. It is also hard to protect one’s privacy in the digital world.

This comment would be more insightful if I got the gist of the post.
