The end of anonymity

CNET has unfortunate coverage on work secretly being conducted by the UN to bring the gauntlet down on Internet anonymity. The work is supported by both China and the United States. Of course, the UN is pursuing this course of action with some noble intentions -- to secure computer networks from hackers; to find criminals who use the internet for nefarious purposes. But the UN is made up of nations who have stated intent of criminalizing free speech and squelching opposition to totalitarian rule. As much as the proposed traceback tools would be used to save the world, they would also be used to bring it to its knees. Care to hazard a guess on which purpose the tools to lift the veil on anonymity would be most used on?

You guessed it. Truth and justice are about to be fucked.
