RE: The systemic deanonimisation of the Internet
If everyone has access to all information they'd also know who used that information against you in unfair ways. There'd be a social incentive to be kind and respectful.
I get what you mean though, it'd be a totally different world than we're used to, but I'd personally prefer everyone knowing over just those in the shadows knowing.
Well, if that situation were to come, I'm sure that I'd philosophically feel the same. But it would still be very, very hard to give away my information despite knowing that it's already in someone else's database. Imagine that you have the risk of being blackmailed with certain information. I think that anyone would be unwilling to give that away. I can't be blackmailed with mine, but it's still private for a reason (or for the lack of a reason of it being publicised).
I'm not sure what I would do in such a situation. I hope it doesn't come during my lifetime.
