One frequent complaint that you’ll hear from adult gamers is the persistence of curse- and prejudice-filled banter on online gaming services. Many video game players believe that they can say and do whatever they like because they didn’t register using their real name and they can’t be held accountable for their actions when only a username is exposed. In the corporate world, you often hear IT administrators remind users that they shouldn’t email anything that they wouldn’t mind seeing on a billboard on the side of the highway. In gaming terms, that statement can be enhanced to say that you shouldn’t say or type anything that you wouldn’t mind telling someone face-to-face. The truth of the matter is, you’re never anonymous online – you just choose the extent to which you reveal personal (often confidential) information, be it via the end user license agreement that you agree to, the service to which you subscribe, or the product agreement upon purchase.
