Rick Falkvinge, founder of the original Pirate Party, now living in Germany, has published four parts so far of series on analog equivalent privacy rights. He plans to have 21 parts in all. The series starts out early on with the point that there is no reason for the offline liberties of our parents to not be carried over into the same online liberties for our children and examines this point from different directions. So far he has posted in detail on the following topics over at Private Internet Access' blog:
- Our children should have the same rights as our parents
- The analog, anonymous letter
- Posting an Anonymous Public Message
- Our children have lost Privacy of Location
Rick will post more over the next few weeks. The current batch of adults and teenagers are likely the last generation to have any choice in the matter. Apathy and ignorance abound and deciding not to decide is still, sadly, a choice.

Don't use your real name online. Those of us that grew up with MUDs, Usenet, etc, knew this well.
ASL? 99. Yes. Your Dreams.
Of course, these days it's a little strange - everyone on my phone and extended circles has their real name ... and everytime I happen to message or contact someone - it invariably results in a response of who the heck is Crash? or just ignored heh.
