In all countries there is a set level of freedom of speech which applies to the online as well as physical world to real people. Only in few countries where there is a clampdown on human rights this is needed. For this reason there are special sites which anonymise content and can be used to get the word out.

As the CEO of an email and web security service, we encourage users to form unverified accounts and, if possible, to find ways to pay for premium services anonomously -- if they wish. Please educate us... I have never seen a downside to unverified identities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
