We don’t know who Anonymous is. Could they be a heroic whistle-blower that published classified documents exposing government and corporate misconduct and is now avoiding prosecution? It’s possible. Could they be a criminal laundering drug money? Sure. But most likely, Anonymous is just a regular person who cares about their right to privacy.

Privacy is listed as a basic human right in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (it’s Article 12) and Anonymous understands why.

The argument for constant surveillance is usually “I’ve got nothing to hide,” In the name of preventing money laundering or child abuse, this makes sense, but it overlooks the fact that individuals such as LGBTQ+ people, political opposition members, and human rights activists, despite having “nothing to hide,” become targets of violence, intimidation, imprisonment, and even death in numerous countries.

Moreover, free services (like Facebook) profit from user data, tailoring specific ads to individual preferences. This data is also monetized for market research and trend analysis. For Anonymous, this raises concerns about privacy, potential breaches, and lack of control over personal information. Remember: If it’s free, you are the product.

Traditional digital payments are subject to surveillance, but bitcoin offers a non confiscatable and unstoppable alternative. For Anonymous, whomever he or she is, the right for privacy is enforced with a permissionless network
