bye bye good old anonymity

A thing so obscure and so brutal to the internet communitiy, that i could not even imagine it, just happend. Austrian citizans are now required to give their real names and address on their private Homepage, even if it is just a Site with photos from their 6 month old child!

Hello??? Where is the privacy in that? It is also unlikely that they will now start to search for sites without proper data. So what is it then for?

Another point for the police state without privacy..

It's not requiered as long as you don't put anything thing on it which may be "interesting to the public".

Means, you're daughters image won't require it as it's not that important to the broader audience.

My formulation is quite fuzzy, more information can be found on http://www.internet4jurists.at/gesetze/bg_medien1a.htm
