The one who hides its identity behind a virtual manifesto and portrays himself as one of a kind.

Hideous being the prime quality of the one who knowingly does the endeavor for his own satisfaction. Most of the time it happens people being silly and want pleasure but eventually ending up hiding as an individual and losing their individuality. Anonymous is a wide term and it perceives both aspects of being positive & negative whereas one who believes is anonymous can commit several amounts of fraud and crimes which may end up vicious.

Anonymous can be anyone around us may be the one writing a review for the product, maybe the troller on social media, maybe the one texting you in person hiding behind a mask, he can be anyone irrespective of being pragmatic or cynical. Their existence is a big question mark on them being a full-fledged human being hiding your identity is an act of cowardice and stupidity.

Most internet users would like to be anonymous online at least occasionally, but many think it is not possible to be completely anonymous online. New findings in a national survey show:

  • 86% of internet users have taken steps online to remove or mask their digital footprints — ranging from clearing cookies to encrypting their email, from avoiding using their name to using virtual networks that mask their internet protocol (IP) address.
  • 55% of internet users have taken steps to avoid observation by specific people, organizations, or the government

Still, 59% of internet users do not believe it is possible to be completely anonymous online, while 37% of them believe it is possible.

Anonymous profiles, liberated from earthly concerns, very often descend to trolling — the act of provoking people without the intention of adding anything of value to the conversation. Some of this provocation is well within the bounds of what could be considered civil — after all, that does or does not add value to a conversation is itself a rather nebulously defined concept. Beyond a point, however, trolling turns to “flaming” — involving comments which are insulting, abusive, laced with profanity, and even contain threats of violence. On Indian Twitter, this is an all too common experience.

Well, people are insecure, are envious of what others have they don't, and that guilt results in anonymity and ends up ruining the environment. Sometimes it okay to neglect the facts but to always tolerating an individual who doesn't even exist but live in virtuality is a matter of injustice to oneself. These anonymous beings live in their own repulsive world & act like a cat chasing a mouse but in reality, they are nothing less than hypocrites who are unknown to their worth.

Being selflessly selfish is a bigger crime than being a nameless creature who is nothing but an ordinary hominid.
