Did you know? In the 1990s, cypherpunks built anonymous remailers so people could send messages without handing over their identity by default. The point wasn't to help criminals, it was to stop power from deciding whose speech gets chilled, profiled, or quietly filtered. Privacy tools change the political balance because people speak differently when they know every message can be traced. If anonymous communication becomes abnormal, who gets to speak freely at all?
