> But an anonymous free-for-all exchange being a natural right? We aren't born anonymous. In the "state of nature," without government, we are in no way anonymous.

No one's ever been 100% anonymous in the physical world before, but by the same token the government can't watch 100% of what 100% of all the people do in the physical world either.

On the Internet apparently the only way to make sure you can be anonymous _ever_ is to make it so you're anonymous _always_.
