A personal must-read is the following articly by one of my favorite bloggers Bruce Schneier:
-> http://www.wired.com/news/columns/0,70000-0.html

We live in a world where the police and the government are made up of less-than-perfect individuals who can use personal information about people, together with their enormous power, for imperfect purposes. Anonymity protects all of us from the powerful by the simple measure of not letting them get our personal information in the first place.

An excellent excellent article.
