（注1）ネット社しゃ会かいの匿とく名めい性せいは完かん全ぜんに透とう明めい人にん間げんの心しん理りです。自じ分ぶんがどこに（注2）アクセスしているかなど、みんなにわかってしまうなら、やっても面おも白しろくないはずです。それだと制せい限げんのある普ふ通つうの社しゃ会かいと同おなじだから。ですから、ネット社しゃ会かいの匿とく名めい性せいというのは、心しん理り的てきには透とう明めい人にん間げんの世せ界かいなのです。しかも初しょ期きには規き制せいはほとんどなかった。今いまでも巨きょ大だい（注3）匿とく名めい掲けい示じ板ばん（注4）「2ちゃんねる」などでは、犯はん罪ざいを起おこした場ば合あいは摘てき発はつされますが、そこまでいかなければ、何なにを書かいてもいい社しゃ会かいになっています。
