\nRésumé
\nMore than any other political movement\, past or prese
 nt\, Anonymous provides the ideal case study through which to probe the wo
 rkings\, benefits\, contradictions\, and limitations of applied anonymity-
 in-action. As a recent privacy movement has coalesced\, I have observed a 
 distinct tension among those who believe in anonymity as a politically use
 ful tool. Even as many leftist and liberal advocates unequivocally support
  a right to encryption\, they also sometimes express a deep discomfort abo
 ut the use of secrecy among activists\, the role of anonymity in general\,
  and the function of Anonymous in particular. To put it slightly different
 ly\, many are uncomfortable with the way Anonymous\, and anonymous actions
  more generally\, lack accountability or\, in a more trenchant version of 
 the criticism\, demonstrate basic cowardice. In this talk\, I will first e
 xplain how anonymity functions among Anonymous activists and then launch a
  defense of the limited use of secrecy/anonymity in activism by discussing
  its benefits in light of the limits of transparency.
