In this era, it is not difficult to express own opinions, especially the anonymous comments. You can speak anything you like, without taking any responsibility for the words you speak. What are your opinions regarding anonymity?

其实，网路霸凌相当普遍。除非要让自己的国家变成跟大陆一样控制本国的网路环境，真的没办法要控制这种人。可是我根本也不想这是个好的解决办法；由于这么强的国家权力，大陆的言论自由丝毫也不存在了，像笼中之鸟一样。

Translation:
I think it is still necessary to protect anonymity because some truths need to be spoken out anonymously. However, in the minds of some netizens, this anonymity is a good way for them not to be responsible for their own words, so false accusations, slanders, or gossips are possible to exist.
In fact, cyber-bullying is quite common. Unless you want to turn your country’s network environment similar to Mainland China, there is really no way to control such people. But I personally don’t think this to be a good solution at all; because of such strong state power, the freedom of speech in the Mainland China does not exist at all, resembling a bird in a cage.
