Ms Noeline Blackwell:

Yes, who has the account. I refer to the level of harm that can happen out of harassment online or, indeed, more serious or more physical harm as well. If, in every case, the company had to know who the author was, people might be able to publish anonymously but it could go back to a verified author. This would mean that if somebody published defamatory or criminal material, he or she could be found and that would raise responsibility for everybody who wants to say something. It would not stop people having freedom of expression. People have the right to freedom of expression not anonymous, possibly falsely created, people.
