    I guess I was brought up believing that if you do nothing wrong, theres no point hiding your identity.

    I’m fine knowing the person who wrote the code of the app that I am about to install has had courage to identify themselves.

      That’s interesting, where did you grow up? I grew up believing everybody had the right to privacy. And to not provide your identity to strangers on the internet

      It’s like gay marriage. If you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to. But don’t support restricting the freedom of others because it won’t effect you

        I grew up in Czechoslovakia and Australia, more Australia really. There might be a genuine reason why google is doing it or not. Most things require an identity these days. You cant drive without an identity , you can’t purchase alcohol without an one, of open a bank account. Where does your privacy feeling stand there I suppose you don’t have any of that? I’m actually amazed with so much fraud on the internet governments don’t require an ID to open a browser on your PC. Isn’t internet like a network of highways really ?
