Anonymity must be preserved at any cost. That is my belief if we are to prosper as a free nation. Today anonymity is being under attack with the good intention of fighting criminal offences in the digital world (such as financial fraud, child abuse and copyright infringement).

Every time government go deeper into the public’s personal life, then each and every time crime reaches new heights. Drug war is a prime example on how wrong things go when government intervene with good intentions.

Anonymity may be in the digital future wiped from everyone’s legal life, it might only be written in old books from this century when we was in the starting phase of our modern civilization. The right to be anonymous was a dream.

The problem with not having a right to oppiniate anonymous are that there can be no shadow organs of society that can be reached by each and everyone of us. For instance in China the internet is controlled and any blossoming of criticism can be taken care of rapidly. This can also be a reality with the surveillance that is implemented on us.

Everytime you blog, comment or have something to say you are under law tracked when, how, to whom or where you said it. Not yet what you said (unless public).

I want to give a shout out for the last freedom on this earth and honour what I’ve been a part of, a life with true freedom and no worry that my opinions will be tracked, stored and archived if I were to be considered politically threatening.

I had an illusion that Norway was the last place to stand for freedom, but I already knew in heart we were not, long before the public talk of digital surveillance.

Though there is still possibilities to limit your tracks. Turn off your GSM radio (leaving you unavailable on the regular network), connect through VPN servers in liberal countries with less or no legal tracking and find email/connectivity services that are operated in liberal countries as well.

These aren’t 100% anonymous, but it gives you the freedom you need to still answer back to society without needing to worry about anyone keeping tabs on all that you do.

He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security. - Benjamin Franklin
