Obama would love this. The IRS would find it that much easier to audit everyone on FR or elsewhere who told the truth about the pathetic petty tyrant in our White House. FedGov can find who we are when it’s actually needed, but this proposal would put that information in the hands of of a Lois Lerner government.

On-line donations have probably already taken care of the FR concerns - most can be traced back to their own computers and be identified via their ISPs anyway. There is almost zero true anonymity when on-line.

Agreed - true anonymity is hard. The question is whether it takes an FBI warrant, the NSA or equivalent to identify the originator of a post or a Lois Lerner clone can do it on her own. Even partial anonymity matters.

That’s what I thought. Even if you’re sitting in Starbucks with a stolen laptop they could match the time of the cyber “crime” to the videos on surveillance cameras in the business and on the streets. If you have a cell phone in your pocket you’re toast.
