How Anonymity Interacts with Social Cohesion

Anonymity and its variations can have both positive and negative consequences on social cohesion within communities. Positive effects can include fostering a sense of inclusivity and unbiased interaction through removing personal identifiers. However, it can also cultivate antisocial behavior and impede connections because of a lack of personal accountability and empathy. As such, there is much debate to what degree of anonymity is appropriate and where it should be implemented across online spaces.
