What is anonymity worth? What is lost when people who prefer or need to remain anonymous are excluded? How do platforms and communities respond to anonymity seekers?

In this talk, results are shared from a series of ten research projects to understand why people seek anonymity, how and why anonymity-seekers are excluded from many online communities and the value of leaving space for people to remain anonymous while participating.
