No. An increasing number of users are more readily identifiable on the
internet (but the issue of jurisdiction still remains). But in actual
fact, there are more and easier ways of achieving anonymity ranging
from anonymizing services such as Tor, prepay mobile phones, free dial-
up access...its not just te internet - all systems of communications
are more accessible without credentials now.
