reject the statements of my colleagues in the Bundestag and chairman of the Select Committee "Internet and digital society," Axel E. Fischer a "Vermummungsverbot on the Internet" I have very clearly.
They also seem no consensus within the commission of inquiry "Internet and digital society" to play.
Anonymous use is a necessary and indispensable principle of the Internet. The free dimension of the Internet must be preserved and protected. This primarily means that citizens must have the freedom to move anonymously on the net can. Monitoring be considered under each click should be completely unacceptable.
I am pleased, however, that Axel Fischer calls for a broad citizen participation in politics through the Internet. I also believe that the Internet has very positive effects on democracy and public opinion. This requires, however, by no means the basic naming real names.
This discussion is even much older! Even in the early hours of the network were already taken this almost religious arguments: In Fidonet example, were thought necessary and in the name Z-power frowned upon more. At that time there was already a solution: the freedom of choice!
Place in representative democracy, politicians publicly choice to represent the people and to make political decisions. You must of course stand by their name for their decisions and their views now. The same can not be applied to any politically interested citizens.
