Nowadays, people cannot imagine life without the web and the constant search in it. The obscurity is the primary factor of an internet exploration.
Anonymity in social accounts
In the web, every person looks differentially. A reason of a forward transformation is the appearance of the specific mask. The prototype or the account of the user doesn’t reflect sometimes the real person. On the space of the computer network, there are many brave and provocative people, who are not afraid of judgments. A specialized sort of the tie appears immediately.
Anonymity in companies
An issue of the anonymity is considered almost in all companies of the communication and the mass media. Facebook accepted the precise rules about the authentic signs for their services. Snapchat, Skype, Steam, Oculus, and Twitter use the same policies in order to protect users from trolling, bullying and harassment.
VR and Anonymity
The
Virtual Reality is a sphere of entertainment and the experience, where every personality can become anyone they desire and don’t face any judgments.
