>Here's a question for the techno-libertarians stepping up to say the government has no right to shut down sites like Silk Road...Where do you derive this supposed natural right for anonymity on the internet Techno-libertarians would care more about the right of individuals to freely trade with each other. Anonymity is merely a necessary component of trading controlled substances under an oppressive regime. I think most libertarians would agree there is no intrinsic right to anonymity. |

As a libertarian, I disagree. The ability to converse, trade, and move about privately is intrinsically necessary to support other fundamental rights. In my view, anonymity (which is just a special case of privacy where a person chooses to reveal no personal information) as an intrinsic right is derived from this necessity.
