Non-anonymity reduces crime?Non-anonymity reduces crime?Posted Dec 5, 2003 17:33 UTC (Fri) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954)In reply to: Non-anonymity reduces crime? by maotig Parent article: Fighting the worms of mass destruction (Economist)
Locks don't stop people from breaking in to homes or stealing cars, it only keeps honest people honest If your definition of "honest" is not succeeding at crime, and a criminal is someone who isn't honest, then by definition, locks don't stop criminals. And neither does non-anonymity. But that's a useless definition of "honest." locks and non-anonymity stop the vast majority of would-be crimes. Only the best, most motivated criminals can defeat them.
