 Anonymity, for millenia, has been used as a type of **tool** for protection. Maintaining a veil of anonymity makes a great first line of defense against [[:hazards|bad actors]]. The "idea" of //Anonymous// (which we detailed earlier) is just one such real-world implementation of this concept, where it takes the form of a metaphorical //Swiss Army Knife//. Not only can you and your friends protect yourselves by hiding under the mask of //Anonymous//, but you can bestow the protections of this mask upon others as well, //regardless of if they formally identify as Anonymous themselves!// For journalists and whistleblowers, this means your confidential sources can be members of //Anonymous//. Your drug dealer can be from //Anonymous//. Your illegal cybercult can be part of //Anonymous//. [[https://biblehub.com/acts/17-23.htm|God]] can even be //Anonymous//. The potential applications of the mask are almost limitless. Anonymity, for millenia, has been used as a type of **tool** for protection.
